The 2015 Bolgheri Rosso is an absolutely gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet floral notes, raspberry jam, spice and new leather are all pushed forward in a succulent, inviting Bolgheri red with tons of near and medium term appeal. Silky tannins add to the wine's polished, sexy personality. There is so much to like. Drinking range: 2017 - 2020 Rating: 91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2018)

This old favourite of L&S is a delight for its price. A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it has intense black fruit aromas.Jane Parkinson, www.janeparkinson.com (Dec 2017)

Packed with cherry and black currant flavors, this red is fruity and effusive. Firm, but the tannins are coated in flesh and the finish offers spice and mineral accents. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drinking range: 2017 - 2024 Rating: 92 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Sept 2017)

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.
