Deeply focused and resonant, Le Macchiole Paleo 2020 shows pure Cabernet Franc character with layers of ripe black cherry, cassis and raspberry framed by notes of cedar, savory herbs and dark chocolate. The palate is powerful yet poised, with firm, finely shaped tannins, lively acidity and impressive concentration that carries through a very long, spiced finish. This vintage is built for patience, promising even greater complexity as the oak fully harmonizes with its intense fruit core.

Paleo by Le Macchiole is the estate’s flagship Tuscan red, a benchmark 100% Cabernet Franc from Bolgheri that evolved from an original Bordeaux-style blend into a pure varietal in 2001. Sourced from low-yielding coastal vineyards such as Puntone, Casa Nuova and Vignone, it is known for its deep ruby color, intense blackcurrant and dark berry fruit, and layered notes of spice, tobacco, herbs and graphite, producing a structured, ageworthy wine that expresses the Mediterranean terroir with great precision and character.
