Tasting Notes

Grattamacco, the second oldest Bolgheri estate, was established in 1977. It is situated in the hilly area bearing the same name, where the term "Grattamacco" originates from the mining of a mineral known as "macco" by the Etruscans on these very hills. The wine exhibits a deep ruby-red hue and greets the nose with intense fruity aromas, intertwined with balsamic hints and Mediterranean floral notes. Subtle smoky nuances from well-integrated wood enhance the experience. On the palate, it makes an austere impression, marked by remarkable freshness. The tannic structure and invigorating acidity accompany a long finish, where mineral nuances resurface prominently.

Pretty ripeness of fruit with a hint of fresh herbs. Medium body and fine tannins. Delicious. Made from a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese.

Here is another one of those vintage-defying wines to emerge from a very challenging growing season with lots of rain and below average temperatures. The 2014 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco benefits from extreme fruit selection and careful management in the winery. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese from one of the most celebrated estates on the Tuscan Coast. The bouquet is full and generous. It peels back with thick intensity revealing luscious tones of blackberry fruit with spice, leather and tobacco. There is structural firmness here but the tannins are well integrated within the fleshiness of the wine.
