Grattamacco 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC

Grattamacco 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC is a Tuscan red of great personality signed by Podere Grattamacco, an authentic expression of Bolgheri and its refined style. It comes from a 10-hectare vineyard located about 100 meters above sea level and from grapes harvested exclusively by hand, with a limited yield that helps define a complex, balanced, and territorial profile. It is a wine designed for those seeking structure, elegance, and depth of flavor in a bottle capable of accompanying the table with authority.

Territory and wine style

The Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC from Grattamacco comes from a temperate Mediterranean context, where the temperature variations and proximity to the sea contribute to a recognizable style, characterized by fruit maturity, freshness, and a savory imprint. The soils, composed of calcareous sandstones, clays, and marly limestone flysch, are a central element in defining the wine's character, which combines substance, momentum, and a pronounced mineral sensation. Vinification in open truncated conical wooden vats and aging in barriques promote a harmonious profile, where the wood remains discreet and well integrated.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and deep color, consistent with its personality as a great Bolgheri red. On the nose, it offers a rich and fine bouquet, with black forest fruits, cassis, balsamic notes, hints of the Mediterranean scrub, and a mineral evolution of great charm. Sweet spicy nuances and an elegant woody touch also emerge. On the palate, it is austere, fresh, and consistent, with a fine and enveloping tannic structure, supported by a convincing balance between minerality, structure, and persistence. The finish is long and marked by very clear mineral returns.
