🏰 Le Macchiole's Paleo Rosso 2021 is celebrated as Italy's landmark expression of 100% Cabernet Franc from Bolgheri. The 2021 vintage in Bolgheri saw a rainy winter, followed by a warm summer and some late September rain, resulting in wines of depth and intensity. Critics have lauded the 2021 Paleo Rosso for its profound complexity, balance, and purity. Tasting notes describe a deep ruby color with aromas of dark cherry, blueberry, green pepper, evolving into spicy and floral notes with eucalyptus. It offers a complex array of blackberry, black cherry, cassis, liquorice, Mediterranean herbs, pepper, tobacco, and a fine, cool minerality. The palate is powerful yet refined, with silky, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. It's a wine structured for decades of aging. 【 Italy's benchmark 100% Cabernet Franc 】. 🍴 This powerful and refined red wine is an excellent match for rich meat and game dishes.
