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
The 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco (a blend of 65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Merlot and 15 Sangiovese) is a real beauty and shows very nicely today based on advancing vine age alone. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines show great results after seven years, whereas Merlot and Sangiovese vines need a few more years before they start to show that extra degree of complexity, the winemaking team tells me. This is a complete and beautifully balanced wine that shows soft extraction and especially sweet tannins. It fermented in truncated conical oak vats and finished in barrique for 18 months. 60,000 bottles were produced.
