Grattamacco

Strahlendes Rubinrot. Im Bouquet Pflaume, Johannisbeere, getrocknete Kirsche und Leder. Am Gaumen dann voller Saft und Kraft, wunderbar harmonisches Aromenbild von kleinen roten Früchten, mediterranen Gewürzen und einem gezügelten Tanningerüst. Ein wunderbarer und ausbalancierter Vertreter aus Bolgheri, der zudem mit einem beeindruckend langen Finish aufwartet. SUPERIORE.DE

"A dense and powerful young wine with ripe tannins. Full-bodied, juicy and rich. Striking structure and fruit." James Suckling

Hochwertiger und rarer Vermentino von strohgelber Farbe und einem Bouquet nach weißen Früchten und Haselnuss. Am Gaumen blumig-frisch, rund und reif. Der wohldosierte Holzeinsatz gibt dem Wein eine feine cremige Textur. Ein anhaltender, hocheleganter Bolgheri Bianco für besondere Gelegenheiten. SUPERIORE.DE

L'Alberello ist ein wunderschöner Cabernet aus Bolgheri mit warmen, dunklen Feuchtaromen, Kräutern, Kaffee und Tabak. Bemerkenswert voll und saftig am Gaumen, lang, seidig und elegant im Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc und Petit Verdot: Startet mit viel Esprit auf Noten von Himbeeren und Veilchen, auch Pfeffernoten; am Gaumen geschliffen, die Tannine und die Säure in perfekter Balance, hat Schliff, Schmelz und grosse Länge. Charismatischer nobler Wein für besondere Anlässe." 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

Funkelndes Rubinrot. Feines, elegantes Bouquet mit Fruchtaromen, Noten von Kaffee und komplexen Gewürzaromen. Der Geschmack ist langanhaltend, die Säure im perfekten Gleichgewicht zu Tannin und Körper. Ein Wein mit großer Persönlichkeit, für eine lange Lagerung geeignet, aber auch in seiner Jugend schon ein Hochgenuss. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot und Sangiovese im Blend: Exquisite Noten von Cassis, Himbeeren und Veilchen; geschmeidiger Bau mit engmaschigem Tannin, viel Schmelz, Saft und Länge. Hervorragend zu einem Kalbsnierenbraten mit Pilzen." Vinum

"Glänzendes, intensives Rubinrot mit feinem Schimmer. Eröffnet mit Noten nach Tabak, viel Heidelbeere und Brombeere, dahinter Zimt. Gleitet über den Gaumen wie Samt, viel feinmaschiges Tannin, viele Schichten, breitet sich in alle Richtungen aus, viel dunkle Frucht, langer Nachhall." 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
