The 2007 Paleo Rosso is rich, sexy and voluptuous, very much in the style of the year. A textured, resonant wine, the 2007 fleshes out beautifully, with layers of deeply spiced dark red stone fruits, roasted coffee beans, new leather and spices. Even with all of its obvious richness, the 2007 maintains gorgeous freshness, one of the many virtues of Cabernet Franc. Today the 2007 is irresistible, but it has more than enough depth to drink well for a number of years. Drinking range: 2014 - 2027 Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2014)

Much lower key and more restrained – oaky rather than fruity – than the 2008. Racy and rather elegant. Dry finish. Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2010)

Le Macchiole

Initially put onto the wine map by Eugenio Campolmi in 1983, the Le Macchiole estate has been run by his wife Cinzia since 2002. In the heart of Bolgheri, with 22 hectares of vineyard over much of the best soils of the region these are, along with the Sassicaia and Ornellaia's vineyards, also among the oldest and most established vines in Bolgheri. Their careful selection of grape varieties and cultivation techniques according to climate and soil has led them to concentrate on Merlot, Syrah and most importantly Cabernet Franc, a variety which can express itself so well in the hands of Le Macchiole.

All of their wines are marked by a unique and unmistakable character. Full bodied wines, and yet with clean and elegant flavours, leading to great freshness and finesse, they are incredibly sought after world-wide. The estate has been organic since 2002, and they are experimenting with biodynamics.
