La Stoppa Macchiona 2018

La Stoppa Macchiona 2018 is a distinctive red from Emilia-Romagna that captures the rustic elegance of the traditional Colli Piacentini style. Sourced from historic vineyards and made from Barbera and Bonarda, it reflects the character of the old farmstead it is named after, with a deeply regional identity and a strong sense of place.

Tasting Notes
Expect a dark, vibrant ruby-garnet color with a lively, naturally expressive profile. The nose typically leans toward ripe red and black berries, sour cherry, violets, dried herbs, and earthy, savory nuances that give the wine its old-school charm. On the palate, Macchiona is medium to full-bodied, with juicy acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a balance between fresh fruit and rustic complexity. The finish is long and food-friendly, and while it can be enjoyed now, it also has the structure to develop additional nuance over time.

Production
Macchiona comes from La Stoppa’s vineyards in Emilia-Romagna, in the Colli Piacentini area, where the traditional red varieties Barbera and Bonarda have long been cultivated. The wine is inspired by the historic Macchiona farmhouse in the middle of the vineyards, and it is crafted to express the region’s classic character through careful vineyard work and minimal-intervention winemaking that preserves freshness, texture, and authenticity.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for cured meats, roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, pork, and rich pasta plates such as ragù or baked lasagna. Serve it slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant if opening it young to help the aromatics open up.

Producer
La Stoppa is one of Emilia-Romagna’s most respected producers, known for championing traditional varieties and expressive, terroir-driven wines. The estate has built a strong reputation for authenticity and quality, especially in the Colli Piacentini, where it has helped raise the profile of the region’s historic red grapes and artisanal winemaking.
