"Grattamacco", Bolgheri Superiore, 2020

Rich and Energetic Super Tuscan

"The organic Grattamacco 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese fermented in conical oak vats and aged in barrique for 18 months. The vintage is fruit-driven for sure, and this expression shows nice detailing in terms of the quality and structure of the tannins. The bouquet is focused on grilled cherry and mixed berry."

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.
