Le Macioche - Decanter	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG - 2006	2006	96	Dec-2019
Review “The mid-2000s was an uneasy, uneven period for Brunello, but this small estate in Montalcino’s warm southeast has been consistent, making Brunello with classic Sangiovese flavours and wonderfully balanced fruit. Showing beautifully now.”
Le Macioche - Jamessuckling.com	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG	2013	93	Jun-2019
Review “Attractive cassis and violets, as well as fresh, leafy notes, make for a complex nose. The palate is quite succulent with a subtle, greenish edge that adds energetic, zesty cut to the finish.”
Le Macioche - Wine Enthusiast	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG	2012	91	May-2019
Review “Underbrush, toasted notes, exotic spice and cocoa aromas fill the glass. The full-bodied palate shows dried black cherry, steeped prune, tobacco and licorice alongside firm close-grained tannins.”

Le Macioche - Wine Advocate	Brunello di Montalcino DOCG	2013	90	Jan-2019
Review “I preview tasted this wine last year, but because this estate skipped over the 2014 vintage, the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Cotarella is officially being released now. Le Macioche is the boutique property now owned by the Cotarella family, with enologist brothers Riccardo and Renzo that are Italian winemaking royalty. In truth, this wine was made in large part before the Cotarellas purchased the estate, and the wine was already in barrel, but they guided the wine carefully during its latter stages of oak aging before its commercial release. In keeping with the house style, this Brunello delivers a mid-weight style and thinner color saturation. This is an elegant and streamlined effort that offers dried fruit and cherry aromas with camphor ash, tar and scorched earth.”
