Scrio Red Toscana IGT 2020 Le Macchiole

Scrio Rosso Toscana IGT 2020 Le Macchiole

Scrio by Le Macchiole is a Toscana IGT red made from 100% Syrah, a refined and identity-driven interpretation of the grape variety in a Tuscan key. It is a wine with an intense, deep, and enveloping profile, capable of uniting Mediterranean energy, marked spiciness, and a pleasant balsamic imprint. A bottle of strong personality, designed for those seeking a structured yet elegant red, with a coherent and recognizable taste structure.

Territory and wine style

The Toscana IGT designation allows for an expressive and free style, while Syrah finds a modern and territorial interpretation in this context. Le Macchiole interprets Scrio with attention to the quality of the raw material and targeted vinification, with fermentation and maceration in concrete and aging carried out in various containers, including tonneaux, truncated conical vats, and stoneware amphorae. The result is a complex, clear, and fragrant wine, where the varietal character intertwines with a sense of maturity and precision.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and deep color, anticipating a rich and concentrated sip. On the nose, pronounced spicy notes emerge, along with persistent balsamic nuances, with hints of mint and eucalyptus that broaden the aromatic profile. On the palate, Scrio shows roundness, balance, and a soft tannic structure, well integrated with the typical freshness of Syrah. The sip is full, harmonious, and continuous, with a savory and long finish, played on spicy and balsamic returns.

Recommended pairings

This red pairs naturally with grilled red meats, roasts, braised dishes, and game birds. It is also ideal with oven-roasted lamb, peppered fillets, preparations with aromatic herbs, and structured dishes from Mediterranean cuisine. Its spicy component and the softness of the tannin make it interesting even with aged cheeses and flavorful dishes, as long as they are not excessively spicy.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Scrio, a serving temperature between 16 and 18°C is recommended. If the bottle is young or just opened, it can benefit from a few minutes of oxygenation in the glass or a brief early opening, to more harmoniously release the spicy and balsamic profile.
