Grattamacco was different from the very beginning. In 1977, when hardly anyone believed in Bolgheri, the founders planted their first vines here. The second winery in the region. The first to produce a Bolgheri Rosso. Pioneers who made Vermentino famous before anyone even knew it existed. Today, the estate sits on a wooded hill between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, overlooking the coast. Sea breezes cool the wine, and the white clay soil retains minerality. The reason? A dried-up salt lake from ancient times – and you can taste it. In the cellar: as little intervention as possible. Everything is done by hand, with minimal technology. Sangiovese, Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot – each grape gets the time it needs. Wine that doesn't deny its terroir.

Grattamacco Vermentino Bolgheri DOC

Grattamacco –
Bolgheri from the very beginning

Grattamacco was the second winery to settle in Bolgheri in 1977 — at a time when hardly anyone knew the region. The founders planted their first vines, vinified one of the earliest Bolgheri Rosso, and made Vermentino socially acceptable in Tuscany before the style had a name.

The estate is located on a wooded hill between Castagneto Carducci and the coast. Under the vines: white clay soil resting on a dried-up salt lake from ancient times. Sea breezes cool the grapes, the soil gives off minerality — both end up in the glass. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Vermentino grow here with a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In the cellar, the team works as cautiously as possible: hand-picking, minimal intervention, no rush. Every variety gets the ripening time its character demands. What emerges are wines that do not comment on their terroir — they simply show it.
