Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2014

The 2011 Scrio (100% Syrah) is the vintage darling. The wine boasts abundant varietal character with black fruit and Morello cherry in center stage. Asian spice and barbecue smoke round off the edges and the wine delivers...

Wine & Spirits, April 2015

Brooding at first, Scrio evokes freshly raked leaves, smoky campfires and spit-roasted game. Light seeps slowly through the branches, revealing layers of roasted fennel and freshly cracked pepper, confidently building...

jamessuckling.com, October 2014

A structured red with dried-berry, cocoa-powder and coffee character. Full body, chewy tannins and a long, intense finish. Super tannins and fruit. Syrah. Better in 2016.

Wine Spectator, July 2015

A meaty, peppery version, with ample plum and blackberry fruit. The tannins are well-integrated. Concludes with echoes of spice and tobacco. Syrah. Drink now through 2022. – BS

Le Macchiole is an estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany on the Etruscan Coast. Founded in 1983 by Eugenio Campolini and Cinzia Merli, the estate has 24 hectares of organically farmed vineyards producing 5 single-variety wines: Paleo Bianco, Bolgheri Rosso, Paleo Rosso, Scrio and Messorio. It was a risky decision to produce single-varietal wines when neighbors such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Guado al Tasso were achieving world-renown for their Super Tuscan Bordeaux blends. But with commitment and determination, they achieved the esteem and recognition deserving of the series of their stunning wines.

Sadly, Eugenio passed away and did not live to see the result of his work but his legacy is continued by his wife Cinzia who works devotedly in the vineyards to demonstrate the purity and unique interpretation of Le Macchiole wines.
