On the market now, the Le Macchiole 2020 Paleo Bianco is slightly less concentrated and textured compared to the upcoming 2021 vintage that I tasted at the same time. The 2020 vintage showed more heat in July, whereas the classic 2021 vintage resulted in more linear and slower ripening. This blend of mostly Chardonnay with Sauvignon Blanc is fragrant, rounded and open-knit with exotic fruits, crisp pineapple, sweet almond and crushed stone. The vineyards are located adjacent to the estate at about 80 meters above sea level.
