The Story

Scrio was born in 1994, out of Eugenio Campolmi's wish to produce a wine which would best express his vision of Syrah, his favorite grape variety.
As all Le Macchiole wines, Scrio has an original personality and it is one of the very few Syrah wines produced in Bolgheri that stands out differendy from French Syrahs.

Written Notes

Le Macchiole Scrio 1997 – Tuscany, Italy

The 1997 vintage in Tuscany is remembered as a warm, generous year, producing concentrated, opulent wines with plush textures and early appeal. For Le Macchiole, Scrio—their pioneering 100% Syrah first released in 1994—captured both the ripeness of the vintage and the estate’s vision for a Tuscan expression of this Rhône variety.

The bouquet is rich and layered, offering blackberry, plum, and black cherry alongside notes of violet, black olive, licorice, cured meat, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with ripe dark fruit supported by supple tannins and balanced by a thread of freshness that keeps the wine lively. Secondary notes of leather, earth, and smoky herbs add depth as the wine evolves in the glass.

The finish is long and warming, echoing dark fruit, spice, and savory undertones. A bold and characterful expression of Tuscan Syrah, the 1997 Scrio shows both power and personality, aging gracefully while retaining its vintage charm. 94 points.
