Le Macchiole is a story of men and human endeavor. And of one man in particular.
Eugenio Campolmi was strongly convinced of his passion for wine that, when it entered his life, took it over and proceeded to profoundly transform it. Always one for experimenting, he decided to become a winemaker. Following his instinct and wholeheartedly committing himself to hard work, he became a very successful one. Cinzia, his partner for years, was his accomplice in this new and challenging adventure. With dogged perseverance, Eugenio learned to appreciate and “feel” the land, respecting and interpreting it with great talent and sensitivity. And thanks to the serious efforts and determination of them both, Le Macchiole became a point of reference for Bolgheri, which is today – thanks to their contribution as well – one of the most celebrated oenological areas in Italy.
“A pure expression of Merlot, the 2011 Messorio is a gorgeous wine that is already drinking at nearoptimal performance now. It will be exciting to see where five to ten more years of cellar evolution take it. Cinzia Merli and her vineyard team took care to harvest the early-ripening varietal before autumn heat spikes. In fact, the integrity of the fruit is impeccable and you don’t get any of the jammy notes that are common in this warm vintage. The bouquet is broad and approachable with intense cherry, chocolate and tobacco. Supporting aromas of cola, grilled herb and exotic spice flesh out the finish. The tannins are plump and sweet.” Monica Larner ~ October 30th, 2014
