Le Macchiole Scrio 2018 – Bolgheri, Tuscany
by Le Macchiole
One of Italy’s most distinctive and elegant Syrah wines, Scrio 2018 is a pure expression of the grape grown in Bolgheri’s sun-drenched coastal terroir. Produced in very limited quantities, it combines Mediterranean richness with remarkable freshness, structure, and aromatic finesse.
Scrio helped redefine what Syrah could achieve in Italy — often compared to top Northern Rhône wines, yet with a uniquely Tuscan soul.
Bolgheri’s warm climate, moderated by cooling sea breezes, allows Syrah to develop deep colour, intense aromatics, and silky tannins while retaining vibrant acidity.
The 2018 vintage is known for elegance, balance, and purity of fruit — making Scrio beautifully expressive and refined.
