Why We're Buying
Podere Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore is made with 100 sangiovese and hails from one of the highest vineyards in Bolgheri. The altitude yields grapes with optimal sugar levels, a light complexion, and a crisp, acidic finish. Wine critic Monica Larner lauded the power and precision of the 2015 vintage, saying, "This vintage is a gem for your cellar, and the wine should award a long aging trajectory for those who have the patience to wait."
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Coming on the heels of the scorching hot 2017, this vintage started off with lots of rain in April and May that required preventative measures against fungal disease. Splendid heat and sunshine marked the summer months, but the freshness you taste in this wine is a beautiful characteristic of this cooler growing season. The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco reveals a finely nuanced bouquet with dark fruit, tobacco, smoke and earthy garrigue or underbrush. The wine leans toward full-bodied, but it also feels quite elegant and crisp on the streamlined finish.
