The Le Macchiole 2022 Bolgheri Rosso is currently on the market with a new vintage arriving soon. The 2022 growing season was hot and dry. In comparison, 2023 was hot with more rain toward the end of the season. This expression shows terrific fruit definition and firmness, with present but mild tannins at the back, and unexpected freshness that does the trick. The blend is Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah that sees a quick 12 days of skin maceration and is partially aged in cement and partially in oak. - Monica Larner

A youthful ruby red color, the 2022 Bolgheri Rosso is expressive and fruity on the nose, with notes of mixed berry preserve, candied flowers, and sweet mossy earth. It’s full-bodied, with bright acidity that propels it forward, and also has a touch of greenness, chalky tannins, and a salty finish. It will likely show its best over the coming 6-8 years. - Audrey Frick

A ripe, juicy version, boasting crunchy cherry, blackberry and spice flavors. This leans to the tannic side, with a mouthwatering, moderately long finish. Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. - BS

The 2022 Bolgheri Rosso is a soft, easygoing red to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry fruit, pipe tobacco, cedar and spice open nicely, giving this mid-weight Rosso plenty of charm. Soft contours wrap it all together in style. -- Antonio Galloni
