Tasting Notes

This Super Tuscan, mainly composed of Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which have flourished in Bolgheri, is complemented by a rare 15% Sangiovese. After 18 months in French barriques and a year of bottle aging, it emerges with a captivating nose of toasted pine nuts, Sumatra tobacco, and ripe cassis. With aeration, it gains an ethereal-herbal quality, revealing black pepper and sage. On the palate, it offers abundant extract sweetness, toasty notes, ripe plums, and sweet cherries. Balanced by remarkable acidity and herbal nuances of mint and black pepper, this wine exudes freshness and complexity.

Poggio di Sotto, Grattamacco

In under a decade, ColleMassari's ascent to Tuscan wine excellence tells the Tipa family's passionate tale. In 1999, Claudio Tipa and Maria Iris found Castello ColleMassari's hidden beauty in Montecucco's wild heart. Today, Claudio Tipa oversees four Tuscan gems, each echoing its terroir. Grattamacco, in Bolgheri's historic winemaking heart, thrives 100 meters above the sea. Merlot, Cabernet, and Sangiovese blend into iconic wines like GRATTAMACCO and approachable Rosso Bolgheri. Poggio di Sotto reigns in Brunello's realm, renowned for limited, legendary Brunelli. The newest, Tenuta San Giorgio, graces Brunello's landscape. Rooted in terroir, these wineries echo Claudio Tipa's Tuscan winemaking vision. Each bottle is a testament to Tuscany's heart, passion, and excellence.
