Scrio - great Tuscan Syrah from Le Macchiole - is a true beauty. The persistent bouquet offers aromas of dark berries and cured meat, warm and balsamic on the palate with great intensity and dynamism, extracted and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pure varietal Syrah with a harmonious bouquet of red forest fruits and flowers, herbal notes, liquorice; elegant on the palate, fine-grained tannins, supporting acidity, nice progression towards flavours of plums, undergrowth and chocolate. Pleases with its supple make." Vinum

"Bright, intense ruby with a pronounced violet shimmer. Opens on the nose with notes of undergrowth, some pepper and galangal, then plum, some graphite. Stretches out great on the palate, grippy, fine-meshed tannin in many layers at the core, has pressure and juice, lots of plum in the finish." Falstaff

"Blackberry and black olive with black pepper and clove on the nose. Medium-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Delicious fruit and texture. So enticing." James Suckling

"Expressive, this red features black cherry, blackberry, floral, mineral and toasted spice flavors. Dense, yet smooth in texture and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste that echoes the dark fruit and mineral flavors, along with a hint of licorice. Very pure and vibrant, this resonates on the long finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2019 Scrio is a wine of remarkable precision that has little, if anything, in common with previous vintages. Understated and gracious, with compelling aromatic presence, the 2019 is all class, all refinement. Bright red-fleshed fruit, spice and subtle earthy notes open nicely. The 2019 is such a gorgeous wine done in a style that emphasizes freshness and a much more ethereal expression of Syrah than was the norm some years ago. I can’t wait to see how it ages." Vinous

"The Le Macchiole 2019 Scrio benefits from reductive winemaking that is intended to lock in the natural fragrances and elegance of this versatile grape. It is fermented in stainless steel and cement and is partially aged in more oxygen-prone tonneaux. The rest goes into truncated cement vat and ceramic vessels. With Le Macchiole, you don't get a flabby over-extracted Syrah; instead, you get a polished and extremely elegant wine with a tight (trim but not lean) mouthfeel and beautifully integrated tannins. Only 3,800 bottles were made." Wine Advocate
