Le Macchiole Scrio 2013
Bolgheri, Tuscany, ItalyScrio came to life in 1994 as the lovechild of Eugenio Campolmi. His goal was to produce a pure, sincere ‘Scrio’ vision of syrah. The winery changed direction with syrah since 2007 when the estate went to high density plantings and production that does not exceed 5,000 bottles. The goal is to highlight the terroir of Bolgheri. Personally, in a small way it reminds me of top Okanagan syrahs. It’s certainly rich in 2013 with lots of meaty white pepper fruit. Its both sweet and wild with rich fine textured tannins. The finish is long and silky with more black fruit and bacon to chew on. Give this a decade to reach its zenith. The wine spends 20 months in French oak, 75 percent new and 25 percent in 2nd year barriques.Tasted: 27 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $125.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
