LE MACCHIOLE

Le Macchiole is one of Italy’s most prestigious wineries and a pioneering force in the rise of Bolgheri as a world-class wine region. Founded in 1983 by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, the estate has earned international acclaim for producing exceptional wines that combine Tuscan character, innovation, and outstanding terroir expression.

Located in the heart of Bolgheri on Tuscany’s western coast, Le Macchiole benefits from a unique combination of Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine, cooling sea breezes, and diverse soils of clay, limestone, gravel, and sand. These conditions create an ideal environment for producing wines of complexity, elegance, and remarkable ageing potential.

Le Macchiole is particularly renowned for its single-varietal wines, which have helped redefine the possibilities of Bolgheri winemaking. The estate’s flagship wines include Messorio (Merlot), Paleo Rosso (Cabernet Franc), and Scrio (Syrah), each recognised as benchmark expressions of their respective varieties. These wines typically display layers of dark berry fruit, plum, spice, floral aromatics, mineral notes, and exceptional depth, supported by refined tannins and outstanding balance.

In addition to its iconic single-varietal wines, Le Macchiole produces highly regarded Bolgheri Rosso and other estate wines that showcase the elegance and versatility of the region. Across the portfolio, the focus remains on low yields, meticulous vineyard management, and sustainable viticulture.

The estate follows environmentally responsible farming practices and a philosophy centred on expressing vineyard identity. Careful fruit selection, minimal intervention, and precision winemaking ensure that each wine reflects both its terroir and vintage character.

Today, under the leadership of Cinzia Merli, Le Macchiole stands among the elite producers of Tuscany and Italy. Its wines are highly sought after by collectors, sommeliers, and fine wine enthusiasts worldwide, consistently receiving critical acclaim and international recognition.
