Paleo Rosso 2021 from Le Macchiole, made from 100% Cabernet Franc, is one of the most distinctive wines from the Tuscan coast. In the glass it shows a deep, dark ruby colour. On the nose it reveals a complex array of blackberry, black cherry and cassis, enriched by notes of liquorice, Mediterranean herbs, pepper, tobacco and a fine, cool minerality. The result is an aromatic profile that is both precise and elegantly layered.On the palate, Paleo Rosso is powerful yet refined. Silky, well-integrated tannins are supported by balanced freshness. The texture is dense and harmonious, striking a perfect balance between fruit, spice and subtle roasted nuances. The long, persistent finish highlights the characteristic balsamic touch of Cabernet Franc and hints at impressive ageing potential.The 2021 vintage stands out for clarity, depth and expressive character. Once again, Paleo Rosso confirms its position as a benchmark for varietal Cabernet Franc in Italy: a wine of personality, elegance and lasting intensity.
