In the hills between Castagneto Carducci and the Tyrrhenian Sea, Grattamacco has achieved a remarkable feat: an elegant Vermentino that brings together terroir, grape variety and vinification methods with rare depth. The grapes come from organically farmed plots at a coastal altitude – consistently well-ventilated, yet characterised by intense sunshine and a significant day-night temperature difference. The combination of sea breezes and limestone soils produces a white wine of impressive substance.

In the glass, it is a pale gold with a greenish sheen. The bouquet is complex and delicate: citrus blossom, mandarin, Williams pear, a hint of sage and wet stone. On the palate, it is both fresh and structured, with juicy fruit, crisp yet well-integrated acidity, subtle tannins and a salty, mineral core. The delicate oak influence remains in the background, yet lends depth and a silky texture. The finish is long, balanced and with a subtle intensity – not an explosion of flavours, but a calm, lingering note that speaks to its provenance and the precision of the winemaking. Grattamacco's Vermentino ranks amongst the very best of Tuscan white wines: not merely a sun-drenched wine, but a finely nuanced interplay of coastal proximity, grape variety and craftsmanship. A zesty Bolgheri Vermentino with character, soul – and a bright future. SUPERIORE.DE

"An intense, elegant straw-yellow colour, sparkling. On the nose, elegant reduction notes, candied lemon slices and green olives, accompanied by subtle hints of iodine and elderflower syrup, with a delicate hint of apricot in the finish. On the palate, wonderfully balanced and elegant, with superb, racy acidity and a compact, velvety texture; it really picks up the pace again in the finish, with great length." Falstaff

"The Vermentino 2024 is light and graceful. Notes of dried citrus peel, white fruit and floral nuances are delicately brought to the fore. An attractive hint of Riesling lingers in the bright, lingering finish." Vinous

"The Bolgheri Vermentino 2024 displays spicy fruit with notes of star fruit and citrus, as well as a gentler sweetness in the form of honeydew melon and pear. Fresh and lively in character, this wine is designed to be wonderfully versatile at the table, with bright acidity that underpins a clean, lively finish. Around a third of the total volume is aged briefly in barriques and tonneaux, lending the wine a subtle texture." Wine Advocate

"Complex and layered, showing cedar, lemon tree, grapefruit and apricot pits with a whiff of toast. Medium-bodied, almost light, offering silky texture yet biting acidity. Vibrant on the palate, it's tasty and balanced with a salty finish. Superjuicy and long." James Suckling
