This deep, spicy red was first produced in 1994, and the inspiration for its creation was the desire to produce a 100% Syrah, one of Le Macchiole’s favorite grapes. Rare and original and produced in very small quantities, Scrio quickly became a benchmark in Bolgheri. The name of the wine, inspired by a Tuscan expression that means “pure, candid, whole,” perfectly describes its defining characteristics.
The beginning of spring was marked by abundant rainfall, in particular, in April and May, and below-average temperatures. Summer, in the months of June and July, did not see a lot of rainfall. Temperatures were very high in August. Despite the scorching hot, our vines developed excellently and provided a good yield, owing also to the water supply stored over the spring months. ->
