Grattamacco Rosso Bolgheri Superiore

Grattamacco Rosso Bolgheri Superiore shows what the coast of Tuscany can extract from Cabernet Sauvignon: structured, lively, with Mediterranean depth.

Grattamacco is one of the pioneers of Bolgheri — the winery helped shape the appellation long before it became world-famous. The grapes come from vineyards with an average age of 25 years and are harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in open 700-liter wooden barrels with multiple manual macerations — a complex process that gently releases the tannins and gives the wine its density. Subsequently, it ages for 18 months in barrique.

On the nose, dark blackberry and cassis appear, plus balsamic notes and a hint of garrigue — rosemary, thyme, dry earth. On the palate, a ripe, yet never heavy tannin structure spreads out, carried by lively acidity and mineral extract. The finish is long, fresh, with a slightly salty line.

Pairs with braised leg of lamb with herbs, aged Pecorino, or Bistecca alla Fiorentina. Best served at 17–18 °C.

The Winery

Grattamacco

Grattamacco was different from the 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 vinify a Bolgheri Rosso. Pioneers who made Vermentino great before anyone knew it.

Today, the estate is located on a wooded hill between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, with a view of the coast. Sea breezes cool, white clay soil stores minerality. The reason? A dried-up salt lake from ancient times – and you can taste that.

In the cellar: as little as possible. Everything by hand, hardly any technology. Sangiovese, Vermentino, Cabernet, Merlot – every grape gets the time it needs. Wine that does not deny its land.
