Podere Grattamacco, Bolgheri Superiore, 2021

One of the jewels of Bolgheri

"The superb 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco is balanced and intense, yet it remains faithful to a medium-plus texture that never feels weighed down. That's one of the best qualities of this classical vintage: you get the power of the fruit with contained concentration and extraction. The bouquet is alive with blackcurrants, cherry, spice and hints of campfire ember. This is one of the jewels of Bolgheri."

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Podere Grattamacco is a pioneering Tuscan winery founded in 1977 atop a hill between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri. As the second estate in Bolgheri, it was the first to plant Vermentino and retain Sangiovese in its Cabernet‑based blends. The estate farms 34 ha of vines organically, producing powerful yet elegant red including its widely acclaimed Bolgheri Superiore.
