Grattamacco

Brilliant ruby red. In the bouquet plum, currant, dried cherry and leather. On the palate it is full of juice and power, with a wonderfully harmonious aroma of small red fruits, Mediterranean spices and a restrained tannin structure. A wonderful and well-balanced representative from Bolgheri, with an impressive long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

High-quality and rare Vermentino of straw yellow colour and a bouquet of white fruits and hazelnut. On the palate floral-fresh, round and ripe. The well-dosed use of wood gives the wine a fine creamy texture. A persistent, highly elegant Bolgheri Bianco for special occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

"This expressive white exudes pine, wild thyme, peach and honey flavors. Rich and creamy in texture, with good underlying acidity and light tannins. Finishes long and tangy, offering a lingering saline element." Wine Spectator

L'Alberello is a beautiful Cabernet from Bolgheri with warm, dark wet aromas, herbs, coffee and tobacco. Remarkably full and juicy on the palate, long, silky and elegant in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot: starts with a lot of esprit on notes of raspberries and violets, also pepper notes; polished on the palate, the tannins and acidity in perfect balance, has polish, melting and great length. Charismatic noble wine for special occasions." Vinum

"Expressive and typical aromas of black currant, cedar, olive, iron and tobacco mark this medium-bodied and balanced red, well-rippled with tannins. Offers a fine, lingering aftertaste of fruit, cedar and mineral." Wine Spectator

"Alberello is the Italian name for bush vines, one of the most undervalued training systems in Tuscany. Employed by Grattamacco for austere varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the result is often outstanding. Cassis, cherry kernel and leafy aromas come before a hint of minerality. On the palate it shows firm, grainy tannins without any dryness at the end, where instead it opens up to reveal sweet toasted tobacco and straw notes. This will last well thanks to its layered profile and great balance." Decanter

"I love the herbal complexity with dark brambleberries, fresh herbs and cedar. Medium to full body, juicy and endearing tannins and a floral finish. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"This wine delivers an exceptional quality of fruit. The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore l'Alberello is vinous and raw with an unmistakably authentic quality that gives this wine character and a specific territorial identity. You taste the flavors of the Tuscan Coast with that "macchia mediterrana," or Mediterranean brush, with ripe cherry, plum, black olive and sweet cinnamon spice. At this young stage, the wine's oak imprint is evident, but we can look forward to this relaxing and tapering down with more bottle age." Robert Parker

Sparkling ruby red. Fine, elegant bouquet with fruit aromas, notes of coffee and complex spice aromas. The taste is long-lasting, the acidity in perfect balance to tannin and body. A wine with great personality, suitable for a long ageing, but also in its youth already a great pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese in blend: exquisite notes of cassis, raspberries and violets; supple structure with tightly woven tannins, lots of melt, juice and length. Excellent with a kidney roast veal with mushrooms." Vinum

"Brilliant, intense ruby red with a fine shimmer. Opened with notes of tobacco, blueberry and blackberry, followed by cinnamon. Glides over the palate like velvet, much fine-meshed tannin, many layers, spreads in all directions, much dark fruit, long aftertaste." Falstaff

"Mid-deep ruby-purple. Torrefied, chocolate oak, with dried tobacco, subtle cedar and rich, black cherry. Sweet, black-cherry palate, counterbalanced by dark chocolate and espresso oak, and underpinned by compact, ripe, very fine, firm tannins. Creamy finish." Jancis Robinson

"So much rosemary and tobacco, highlighting the currants and other fruit on the nose. Medium body and firm, silky tannins. Balanced and fresh finish. Remains subtle and complex." James Suckling

"The aromas offer a subtle mix of black currant, violet, cedar, iron and sweet spices, evolving into an elegant profile, with superb balance and harmony. Complex and intense, this seems approachable even at this early stage, yet it will only gain with time in the bottle." Wine Spectator

"Grattamacco is one of the highest estates in Bolgheri, located just beneath the village of Castagneto Carducci. Sangiovese gives the wine a particular freshness and drinkability, rejuvenating the tension of the classic Bordeaux varieties. In 2016, Grattamacco has exceeded itself, with aromas of elegant, youthful red currant fruits integrated with citrus notes and cedar wood. On the palate the wine is perfectly balanced, and more immediately drinkable than some of the other top samples. It has delicious tension and ripeness, with a mediterranean character and a hint of kiwi on the finish." Decanter
