The 2011 Paleo Bianco is gorgeous in this vintage. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully delineated, the 2011 impresses for its balance and sense of harmony. Lime, flowers and white peaches are all very much alive on the saline-infused finish. The 2011 is 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Chardonnay. 2013-2016 Rating: 90 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Oct 2013)

The 2011 Paleo Bianco is a beautifully soft and creamy white wine with stone fruit, orange blossom and white almond. Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are beautifully matched in terms of aromas and mouthfeel. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015.

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.
