Lot #832. Le Macchiole Paleo 2016

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Tuscany.
Score: 98 AG.
"A wine of breathtaking beauty, the 2016 Paleo Rosso possesses off the charts vertical intensity. Sweet floral and spiced notes soar out of the glass in a stunning wine endowed with fabulous depth in all of its dimensions. Cedar, mocha, rose petal, red plum and menthol are bright and beautifully sculpted. Paleo Rosso shows just how profound Cabernet Franc can be on the Tuscan Coast. This is a superb edition of the wine that, in my view, is the Macchiole flagship. The 2016 saw 30-35 days on the skins, followed by malolactic fermentation in cement and 18 months in French oak." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Mar 2020
Provenance: The Arctique Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $180
