Le Macchiole Paleo 2018

Description

100% Cabernet Franc

Paleo Rosso has been called Italy’s landmark expression of Cabernet Franc. This grape variety is growing internationally as a distinct bottling, but Bolgheri has proven to be the single best place in the world to do so. The Mediterranean climate and surroundings result in a wine of extraordinarily expressive, sensual, and textural fruits and savory spices. 18 months in oak barrique (75% new), 16 months in bottle.

Full-bodied and complex. On the nose, aromas of raspberries, black currants, Mediterranean scrub, and violets, secondary notes of blackberries, blueberries, plums, chocolate, and mushrooms. On the palate you’ll find blackberries, star anise, and wild herbs before a saline mineral finish. 14% ABV
