For the last thirty years, the Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco has been one of the most desired purchases by lovers of Bolgheri and Tuscany. It is in fact a wine that, although coming from a very hot area, is always fresh and aromatic. It is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and the remaining 15% Sangiovese. The grapes come from a 10-hectare vineyard facing the sea, at an altitude of 100 metres, with vines with an average age of 20 years. The harvest is done exclusively by hand. The vinification begins with the open fermentation of the must in conical oak barrels. After malolactic fermentation (a fermentation by lactic bacteria that transforms malic acid into lactic acid, modifying the acid structure of the wine and making it softer) in stainless steel tanks, the wine ages for 18 months in new and used barriques. Refinement in the bottle follows for a further 12 months.

BOLGHERI SUPERIORE GRATTAMACCO: TASTING

Grattamacco has a beautiful dark ruby red; the aromas are bewitching and juicy: black currant, wild strawberries, cedarwood, rosemary and black pepper. The sip is balanced and satisfying, savoury, fresh and long. To be tasted alone and then to accompany a succulent grilled wild boar.
