Scrio wurde 1994 aus Eugenio Campolmis Wunsch heraus geboren, einen Wein herzustellen, der seiner Vision von Syrah, seiner favorisierten Rebsorte, am besten zum Ausdruck bringt. Wie alle Le Macchiole-Weine besitzt Scrio eine ganz eigene Persönlichkeit und ist einer der wenigen in Bolgheri produzierten Syrah-Weine, der sich von den französischen Syrahs unterscheidet. Seine Produktion ist auf 5.000 Flaschen begrenzt. "Scrio" ist ein toskanisches Wort, das am besten mit rein, aufrichtig und ehrlich übersetzt werden kann.

A beautiful Syrah from Tuscany, the 2020 Scrio shows impeccable elegance with a very long and linear style that transcends the nose and the palate. I love the precision of this wine. The celebrated Rhône grape has found a very happy home along this part of the Tuscan coast. The team at Le Macchiole is especially talented at bringing out varietal nuances of dark fruit, baking chocolate, spice, charred meat, white pepper and pencil shaving.

I enjoyed an epic tasting with Le Macchiole proprietor Cinzia Merli, Winemaker Luca Rettondini and Vineyard Manager Elia Campolmi (Cinzia's son). We tasted three vintages each of the three headline wines Paleo (Cabernet Franc), Scrio (Syrah) and Messorio (Merlot). I gave final scores to the 2019s that are on the market now. I gave a range of scores to the 2020s that we tasted from barrel, but I decided not to give scores (only initial impressions) to the 2021s because these still have a long way to go. The 2020s will hit the market in March 2024. The 2021s are gorgeous, and I look forward to tasting these samples at a later date. Le Macchiole is organic, although they are not currently certified. This will change in 2023 when the winery will obtain certification. The team is especially involved with maintaining the surrounding forests for the sake of biodiversity and for a more functional purpose in that these "green lungs" are beneficial to vine health.
