Proprietor Cinzia Merli has decided to delay the release of her top wines by a year starting with the 2017s, so I was not able to taste the 2017 Paleo Rosso, Scrio or Messorio. I did have a chance to re-visit the 2016s, and they are every bit as monumental as they were last year. Le Macchiole is one of many estates in Bolgheri that has gradually dialed back on some of the richness that was once so coveted in the region. Yields are a bit less extreme, there is more leaf cover during the summer months and the overall approach in both the vineyard and cellar leans towards preserving freshness in the wines.

I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted at Le Macchiole on my most recent vintage. The 2016s in particular are off the charts. They also point very clearly to the more refined aesthetic that informs Cinzia Merli's wines today. A clean, healthy crop allowed for longer macerations. That's a contrast to 2015, where the estate chose to give the wines less time on the skins. In tasting, the differences between the two vintages is striking. The 2016s all show remarkable sweetness and ripeness in their tannin, while the 2015s are going to need time in bottle for some of the more angular contours to soften.
