Grattamacco was founded in 1977 and was the second winery of the Bolgheri appellation, following Sassicaia. The winery lies on a rise between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, with a panoramic view of the Tuscan coast.

The Grattamacco vineyards are located at about 330 ft. above sea level, in a wonderfully protected plot that spans over one of area’s only two hills, and is surrounded by other internationally renowned properties.

What makes Grattamacco unique in Bolgheri is their decision to use Sangiovese (and they were the first to plant Vermentino there as well). The Bolgheri Superiore is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 15% Sangiovese, and the 2019 is the 37^th vintage of this wine. It’s young and powerful, and would be great in a few years, or with a little decanting. In stock and ready for your cellar!

Reserved layers and depth slowly begin to emerge from the 2019 Grattamacco, so it is going to need time in cellar to open and show itself. As it opens in the glass, it reveals attractive dark mineral earth, kirsch, black pepper spice, and balsamic. It is concentrated and compact at this stage, with savory richness, and it displays full and balanced structure, ripe and present tannins, and notes of cassis, cedar, and pine resin. It reveals rich complexity without ever feeling murky, and its energetic tension takes this wine to the next level. Drink 2025-2050.-Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck

Dense and smooth, featuring black cherry, blackberry, plum, iron, licorice and menthol aromas and flavors. Fresh and featuring a spine of tannins, this finishes on the compact side for now. Shows balance, so be patient. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. –Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
