Grattamacco, Bolgheri, Superiore 2019

Grattamacco

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 97.0

Grattamacco’s mission is to lead the success of this incredible area, going beyond the typical Bordeaux varieties-based blends to embrace Sangiovese and Vermentino as well.
Founded in 1977, the Estate lies in a protected area on one of Bolgheri’s only two hills, a location famous for its ancient history and the particular soil here is of utmost importance.

This elegant wine comes from the area of Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast and has a unique character.
With notes of juicy blackcurrant, cedar wood and wild forest strawberries, mixed with delicate nuanced of rosemary and pepper. Beautifully balanced and harmonic, with a silky soft and complex structure. This historical label is a perfect marriage between Cabernet and Merlot, typical from this area, with the Sangiovese that in Bolgheri is very peculiar.

Walter Speller

Lustrous mid ruby. Great depth but still a little closed, with distinct spicy notes and a hint of bell pepper. Perfumed fruit emerges with aeration. Supple and succulent and with gorgeous, polished, finely ground tannins. Not yet ready but hard to resist right now. (WS)

Aldo Fiordelli

Grattamacco is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese, which certainly contributes to the fresher style of this wine. The whole picture is complete only when understanding that the vineyards used for this blend are among the highest of the appellation. According to winemaker Luca Marrone, in 2019 the ripening of the grapes was slow and the harvests took place on 4 October. Grattamacco shines for its signature leafy, Mediterranean forest aromas, with assertive kiwi peel, restrained cassis, bell pepper and chocolate flavours. The attack is velvety, youthful and firm, less easy-going compared to Alberello but more tight-knit and extremely elegant - the Sangiovese grapes seem to emphasise the red freshness of the fruit. The length is amazing.
