The Story

Paleo Rosso has been called Italy’s landmark expression of Cabernet Franc. This grape variety is growing internationally as a distinct bottling, but Bolgheri has proven to be the single best place in the world to do so. The Mediterranean climate and surroundings result in a wine of extraordinarily expressive, sensual, and textural fruits and savory spices.

Paleo Rosso is sourced from four of the estate’s five vineyards: Casa Nuova, Vignone and Madonnina. Vines are planted in two training systems, Double cordon and single guyot.

The 100% Cabernet Franc is macerated and fermented for 20 days in concrete tanks, and subsequently aged for 20 months in oak barrels with 75% new and 25% second passage. The wine is fruther aged in bottle for 16 months before release.

Wine Information

There is no question that the 2014 was challenging for all Italian wineries and Bolgheri was no different: rainfall, changeable weather and constant lack of sun adversely affected the harvest like rarely before. It was a vintage that required hard work and commitment, allowing those who worked carefully, accurately and with passion to make the difference. At Le Macchiole, a lot of time and hard work was put into protecting the grapes through constant canopy management to lighten the foliage, and allow for more sunlight and warmth to receive the grapes. Despite the challenges, the winery is quite please with the results: grape yield was lower than usual, but fruit quality was amazing.

Written Notes

Medium intense, ruby red colour. Open, floral nose with refined wild aromas, touch of white pepper, bellpepper, blackcurrants and violets. Rich medium-bodied palate shows vivid, racy fruit flavours with touch of crispy sour fruit character. Long and lingering finish is vibrant and spicy. Drinking well already, but will benefit from further cellaring another 3-5 years. Decant now for 2 hours and serve at 17-18C with rabbit ragout, saltimbocca alla romana and roasted duck. – JL 92p (11/2018)
