Paleo Bianco 2022 Le Macchiole

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (93)

Le Macchiole's 2022 Paleo Bianco (a blend of mostly Chardonnay with Sauvignon Blanc in a supporting role) offers a broad sounding board of orchard fruit and white peach with pinpoint accents of Golden Delicious apple, crushed stone and candied tangerine. The bouquet never fully goes into sixth gear, although there is ample texture and structure throughout. Ultimately, Paleo Bianco appeals to the palate more than it does to the nose per se.

The 2022 Paleo Bianco (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc) is quite attractive. Hints of peach, tangerine oil and spice show the slightly exotic character of a warm, dry year, but without excess. I would open the Bianco in advance, as aeration is quite beneficial. Readers will find a rich white that can be enjoyed before a meal or at the dinner table. Harvest took place in early August, very early by any standard.
