On the market now, the Le Macchiole 2020 Paleo Bianco is slightly less concentrated and textured compared to the upcoming 2021 vintage that I tasted at the same time. The 2020 vintage showed more heat in July, whereas the classic 2021 vintage resulted in more linear and slower ripening. This blend of mostly Chardonnay with Sauvignon Blanc is fragrant, rounded and open-knit with exotic fruits, crisp pineapple, sweet almond and crushed stone. The vineyards are located adjacent to the estate at about 80 meters above sea level. ... More details

Interesting array of straw, smoked almond, bay leaf, grilled pineapple, grapefruit pith and burnt lemon. Full-bodied with tangy acidity and a phenolic palate. Lightly bitter, smoky and citrusy elements. Chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. Drink now.

Region: Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
