Highly recommended. Onewine Editor’s choice.

Sangiovese is a varietal in Italy that has the same important standing as Cabernet / Merlot in France – a varietal that sometimes is puzzling in the many clone – expressions you will find in Chianti, Brunello, Vino Nobile, Carmignano etc. Here in Paolo’s two wines (Alberaia & Macchie) – it is made with four different clones of sangiovese, three of which are widely used for Brunello and the last for Chianti Classico. F9, selection massale, VCR23 and VCR24. It is fascinating to taste this wine as you can pick up hints of sangiovese in it’s different expressions. Try the Alberaia – the simpler of the two – to get a feel of true high quality sangiovese. The Macchie has more oak influences when young but with more complexity and layers of flavours.

Vivino Rating 4.3

In the glass the wine shows an intense ruby red color. Deep and intense with aromas of ripe fruit. It initially presents itself with a robust body and is followed by particular elegance and complexity, presenting a mix of black fruits and a hint of spice. In the mouth it is full and round, with a persistent aftertaste. As with all great wine, it will develop and evolve constantly and is excellent to serve even in the next 10-12 years.

A single vine from a single vineyard. Macchie is the maximum expression of love and respect for the tradition of rural life and Tuscan culture. The grapes come from the small vineyard, “Osteria delle Macchie”, which has an extension of 2.3 hectares located on a hill exposed to the south-east. Macchie is obtained from the selection of the best Sangiovese.
