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

"Bright ruby-purple colour. Clear nose with notes of violet, blackberry and elderberry, some smoke in the background. Amazingly fresh acidity on the palate, juicy and with good tension, flavours of fresh raspberries and pomegranate, grippy tannins on the final." Falstaff

"Nuances of herbs and red berries, rosehip, mint with a touch of peppery notes; juicy in the mouth, beautiful polish, elegant and long, with melting, velvety tannins and lively acidity, testifies to the capacity of Syrah in Bolgheri." Vinum

"This wine is so refined and floral with a unique expression of Syrah that shows brightness and energy. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh fruit and acidity. From new vineyards on a hillside." James Suckling

"Perfumed, spicy, earthy aromas of topsoil, sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, candied orange peel, Luxardo cherry and rose petals create a nose that is both refined and adventurous. On the palate, there is a balance between the richness of berries and the crisp sweetness of salted chocolate biscuits, before a new tension between peppery spiciness and fresh saltiness emerges on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

"This lively, elegant and supple red wine exudes blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruit with accents of violets, graphite and black pepper. Driven by lively acidity and punctuated by velvety tannins, this is a great example of the vintage in step with the style." Wine Spectator

"The Scrio 2021 opens with crushed flowers, bright red fruits and a hint of white pepper. Vibrant acids lift the mid palate nicely. This is a particularly elegant, refined Scrio, reflecting the shift to hillside vineyards, which now make up 50% of the blend. The red fruit profile and medium-bodied structure are at times reminiscent of a Pinot. A sense of finesse and understatement is palpable. The 2021 was aged for 14 months in neutral French oak, in clayvers (small, round ceramic vessels) and in earthenware amphorae, which brings out the wine's vibrant fruit even more. Scrio is such an unusual Syrah. I'm very curious to see how it ages." Vinous

"The Scrio 2021 is a wine of generosity, depth and texture. It offers a full embrace of the senses with mulberry, plum, soft spices and camphor ash. In the distance, you can detect the peppercorns and smoked bacon that usually characterise this grape variety, but the focus is on softer tones of cardamom or candied orange in dark chocolate. There is even a hint of blue flowers or lilac. I love the precision and decisive length of this Syrah and the tannins, which remain supple and velvety. This is an exceptional Tuscan Syrah."
