Wine Description
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.
It is a very limited production of 5,000 bottles, the result of a painstaking selection of the best bunches harvested in our vineyards year after year.
"Scrio" is a Tuscan word that translates as pure, genuine, honest. It is usually used to refer to people who are pure of heart.
Scrio is sourced from two vineyards: Puntone and Madonnina, from extremely restricted yields due to low vigor plants and green harvesting. Following a 20-day maceration in stainless steel, Scrio is matured for 12 months in oak barrels (75% new, 25% second passage). It is then aged for 21 months in bottle before release. Around 5,000 bottles produced are produced in a given vintage.
Wine Information
The 2013 is, without a doubt, one of best vintages ever produced in Bolgheri and one of Le Macchiole’s most interesting, complete and harmonious harvests. The slow and homogeneous ripening of the clusters led to perfect phenolic maturation and preservation of varietal character. Harvesting of red grapes began the first week of September with the Merlot and ended on October 10 with the Cabernet Franc. The reds reflect the perfect climate conditions of the 2013 harvest: well-balanced tannins, intense aromatic level and a level of acidity that gives immediate drinkability and considerable ageing potential.
