Le Macchiole : Bolgheri Rosso 2023

The 2023 Bolgheri Rosso is a very pretty wine. Crushed flowers, spice and mocha lift a core of red-toned fruit in this gentle, easygoing Rosso that shows the more refined side of Bolgheri. The refreshing style makes the 2023 Rosso a total delight. Drink it over the next handful of years.

Moving to the reds, the 2023 Bolgheri Rosso boasts a youthful medium ruby red color, while the nose is pretty and floral with aromas of dusty earth, mixed berries, fresh herbs, and violets. The palate has a lot of focus and a bright, refreshing spine of acidity, fine tannins, and a clean, lightly mineral-inflected savoriness on the finish. A fantastic entry to the range with a huge potential for value, drink it over the next 8-10 years. It has a lot of precision and focus at this time and will only improve with another 6-12 months in the bottle.
