Red Paleo

Le Macchiole is a winery located in the Bolgheri area in the heart of the Livorno Maremma, which has become one of the historic reference points for quality Tuscan wine. The founders Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, with their audacity and resourcefulness, were pioneers of a certain type of viticulture that over the years has contributed decisively to the fame of Bolgheri, with wines with great personality. The dynamism of the Le Macchiole winery has been a winning choice, which has been able to maintain ancient traditions by continuously changing and innovating, choosing organic farming and sustainability. These are the principles of a success that can be found in the absolute authenticity and refinement of its wines.

Paleo Rosso, produced by the renowned Le Macchiole winery, represents an undisputed point of reference in the Italian wine scene, in particular with regard to the interpretation of the Cabernet Franc grape variety. Born in 1989 as a classic Bordeaux blend, in 2001 it embarked on an evolutionary path that led it to become a single-varietal Cabernet Franc, a bold choice that further raised the quality profile of this label. The grapes intended for the production of Paleo Rosso come from vineyards located in the heart of the Bolgheri denomination, in particular in the parcels of Puntone, Casa Nuova and Vignone. These soils, characterized by a varied composition with a prevalence of clay, limestone and skeleton, give the wine a unique complexity and depth. The winemaking process is carried out in compliance with tradition, but with a careful eye on innovation. After manual harvesting and a rigorous selection of the bunches, the grapes are fermented in cement tanks with maceration on the skins for about 25 days. Subsequently, the wine ages in French oak barriques for a period of 18 months.

Paleo Rosso has an intense ruby ​​red color, with purple reflections that denote the youth of the wine. On the nose, a broad and complex bouquet expresses fruity notes of blackberry and raspberry, enriched by spicy nuances of licorice, rosemary and white pepper. To these are added delicate balsamic notes and elegant tertiary hints of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with silky and well-integrated tannins. The lively acidity and minerality give Paleo Rosso a freshness and flavor that balance its alcoholic strength. The finish is long and persistent, with returns of red fruit, spices and balsamic notes.

Paleo Rosso by Le Macchiole, with its structure and complexity, lends itself to a wide range of gastronomic pairings. This wine enhances the flavor of red meat roasts, such as beef, lamb or wild boar, its versatility makes it perfect to accompany mixed grills of meat, perhaps with sausages, ribs and grilled vegetables and the tannic structure of the wine marries perfectly with game, such as wild boar or pheasant, enhancing their intense flavors. An interesting pairing is with fresh pasta dishes seasoned with rich and full-bodied sauces, such as a wild boar ragù or a white duck ragù, risottos creamed with mature cheeses or with porcini mushrooms are an excellent choice to accompany this wine. Hard and mature cheeses, such as pecorino romano or Parmigiano Reggiano, create a pleasant contrast with the freshness of the wine.
