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.
“The 2008 Scrio (Syrah) wraps around the palate with layers of rich, dark fruit. This is a decidedly cool Scrio that stands apart from some of the more bombastic wines of recent vintages. Dark cherries, plums, espresso and sweet herbs are some of the aromas and flavours that emerge over time, but it is the integration of the French oak this year that truly elevates the wine to another level.”(Antonio Galloni, August 2011)
