Le Macchiole was born in Bolgheri in 1983, when the place was still simply a holiday resort on the edge of time, among villages, olive trees, vineyards and a splendid sea. Among the first companies that believed in the Bolgheri area, in the potential of mono-varietal wines, and in the organic vineyards in these areas not traditionally suited to natural viticulture, the company is today an international brand, led by Cinzia Merli, who she founded the company with her husband Eugenio Campolmi, who died prematurely. The first bottles were produced in 1987, but it was the 90s that proved decisive for the definition of the company. In that period, the owners acquired a greater awareness of the territory available, with the introduction of high-density plants and above all with the innovative and risky decision to produce mono-varietal wines. The approximately 24 hectares of property are arranged in a semicircle, as if to emulate an amphitheater, and are managed in an impeccable and meticulous manner. Viticulture, in fact, is the fixed point from which it all began, through important investments for research in the vineyard, with the aim of expressing this great territory in the wines produced. In the vineyards there is space for syrah, cabernet franc and merlot, which find their exaltation in the cellar through single-variety vinification. We are talking about grapes capable of giving life to famous wines, which have won over enthusiasts and international critics such as "Scrio", "Paleo Rosso" and "Messorio", all with the Toscana IGT denomination. During the vinification and refinement phases, the greatest attention is paid, and the most meticulous care is reserved for each production process. This is how labels of extraordinary charm are born, which know how to challenge the passing of the years as few others can do. Original wines with an out-of-the-ordinary personality, fragrant, rich and complex, capable of enhancing the characteristics of the "Bolgheri terroir" like few others, proving to be the undisputed champions, season after season.
