The superb Grattamacco 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco (a certified organic wine) 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. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese (with 60,000 bottles made). It ferments in conical oak vats with ambient yeasts and manual push-downs and ages in barrique for 18 months.

Podere Grattamacco
Situated between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, the Podere Grattamacco estate sites on a picturesque hilltop facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Founded in 1997 by Piermario Meletti Cavallari, the winery is currently owned by Claudio Tipa of the ColleMassari Group. A pioneer in the region, Grattamacco was the second estate to commercialize wine production in this now-famous appellation, Bolgheri. The work of founder, Piermario led to the redefinition of Bolgheri reds – refined, harmonious wines perfumed of spice, floral and herb scents. Today, Claudio and consulting enologist, Maurizio Castelli organically farm the 50-hectare property. The land is made up of woodlands, olive groves and 25-hectares of vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino. The upward sloping hills of the property provide a unique micro-climate defined by dry and consistent bursts of thermal waves. The recently renovated winery produces several first-rate reds, as well as one highly sophisticated white, the Bolgheri Vermentino.
