Grattamacco 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC

Wine produced from a 10-hectare vineyard located 100 meters above sea level. The soils present are calcaliferous sandstone, clay mixed with marly limestone flysch and calcareous clay, while the climate is temperate Mediterranean. Planting density ranges from 4500 to 6000 vines per hectare with a yield of about 60 quintals. Pruning is by spurred cordon and simple guyot, and the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. The average age of the planting is 20 years. Vinification begins with alcoholic fermentation in open truncated conical wooden vats while malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques. Aging continues for 18 months in barriques of first and second passage. Minimum aging of 12 months in bottle.

TASTING NOTES

The olfactory impact is intense and of extreme finesse: it expands with black berries and cassis, accompanied by clear balsamic and Mediterranean scrub scents. Typical mineral notes then develop in progression. The wood is perfectly integrated and offers sweet spicy notes and an elegant woodiness on the finish. The taste impact is austere and of remarkable freshness and develops in a balanced fusion between the ample minerality and the fine and enveloping tannic texture. All this is found in the long persistence on the finish, where ample mineral notes emerge. Consistent, complex, with a character deeply linked to its area of origin.

WINEMAKING

Viticulture, based on totally environmentally friendly methods and principles, allows a spontaneous productive balance with low yields per hectare. Grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected from vineyards with an average age of 25 years. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in open oak vats, with gentle and repeated manual punching-down, allowing long macerations and a slow release of only the noble tannins. The wine was aged for 18 months in barriques and bottled in August 2022

CULINARY PAIRINGS

Gastronomic pairings with game and venison, goes well with local wild boar-based preparations, to moist braised red meat dishes, excellent with medium-aged hard cheeses.
