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

"The 2020 Bolgheri Rosso is an absolutely gorgeous wine that overdelivers in its peer group. Silky, layered and light on its feet, the Rosso is superb. Hints of blueberry, menthol, licorice, pine and cinnamon all grace this attractive, stylish offering." Vinous

"The Grattamacco 2020 Bolgheri Rosso shows nice elegance over a tight and streamlined body. It is redolent of black fruit, plum and cherry with mild shadings of spice at the back. The vineyards are located from 100 to 200 meters above sea level with quartz sandstone soils mixed with white clays, marly limestone, flysch and red sands." Robert Parker

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

"Grattamacco was one of the first wineries on the Tuscan Coast to commit to Vermentino in a significant way. The hard work and experimentation completed over the years has paid off handsomely. The organic 2020 Bolgheri Vermentino sources its fruit from a three-hectare plot at a breezy 100 meters in elevation with a mix of white clay and flysch soils. One-third of the wine goes into tonneaux, and the rest goes into steel tank for six months. Nailing harvest time is very important with Vermentino because it can suddenly lose its freshness in a matter of days. This wine offers a pretty combination of citrus, rosemary, white pepper and preserved lemon over a crisp, mid-weight body." Robert Parker

"This has aromas of dried lemon, pineapple, flint and smoked almond. It’s medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity and a textured, flinty and subtly smoky palate. Layered. Delicious finish." James Suckling

L'Alberello ist ein wunderschöner Bolgheri Superiore aus vornehmlich Cabernet. Startet frisch und vehement mit warmen, dunklen Fruchtaromen, dann öffnet er sich weiter mit einem Bouquet von Kräutern, Kaffee und einer Prise Pfeffer. Bemerkenswert geschliffen und saftig am Gaumen, alles ist in Balance, seidig und sehr charismatisch im langen Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Bolgheri Superiore l'Alberello is a special expression of place. The wine is born in a two-hectare plot that is entirely planted to long rows of alberello (bush-trained) vines at a low 30 meters above sea level with predominately clay soils. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel, and the wine ages in barrique for a standard 18 months. This vintage is very generous and broad in terms of aroma and texture, with finely polished tannins. There are in fact two phases to this wine: a creamy start and a silky end. It shows impressive length and polish. With very low yields of one kilo of fruit per plant, that means each vine makes one bottle of wine." Robert Parker

"Lots of redcurrants and roses on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with firm, silky tannins that run the length of the wine. Firm and polished with excellent length. From organically grown grapes. Give this three or four years to soften. Try after 2025." James Suckling

Leuchtendes, sattes 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 Spannung und Persönlichkeit, für eine lange Lagerung geeignet, aber auch in seiner Jugend schon ein Hochgenuss. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep ruby red; aromas of black plum, lavender and peppermint. Medium-full with a rich mid-palate with layers of perfectly ripe fruit. Very good acidity, medium-full tannins that are beautifully balanced, nicely integrated wood notes and outstanding persistence. Another brilliant wine from this great producer!" Forbes Magazine

"Elegantes Odeur nach warmduftigen Himbeeren, auch Nuancen von mediterraner Macchia, viel Schmelz und Saft, belebende Säure, endet lang. Zu einem herbstlichen Wildgericht." Vinum

"Dunkles Rubinrot mit violetten Rändern. Dichtes, sehr intensives Bouquet, ungemein facettenreich, verströmt trotz des Neuholzausbaus eine gewisse Leichtfüßigkeit mit deutlich mineralischer Kulisse, die an Graphit und Eisen erinnert. Grandios, weil fast schwebend. Im Mund sehr fein und präzise proportioniert, nicht auf Kraft, sondern auf Herkunft gemacht. Eindrückliches Finale mit blauen Beeren." Weinwisser

"Funkelndes, sattes Rubin mit leichtem Granatschimmer. Spannende und vielschichtige Nase, zeigt zunächst feine Noten nach Zedernholz, etwas harzig, dann satt nach frischen Ribiseln und Himbeeren. Am Gaumen sehr saftig, eröffnet mit feinmaschigem, griffigem Tannin, salzig und lang." Falstaff

"The 2018 vintage - according to the estate - produced elegant wines, characterised by their aromatic intensity. If Sangiovese usually brings tension to Grattamacco compared to other Bolgheri superiore based on Bordeaux blends, this year it reveals a slightly greenish touch on the finish. However there is in the glass a great intensity of earthy tones among black pepper and game, then cassis and cedar wood flavours sustained by silky tannins well integrated with firm acidity and just a bit austere finish." Decanter

"Currants, blackberries and hints of chocolate and fresh herbs. Full-bodied and round-tannined with a lovely texture and a savory, almost iron finish. From organically grown grapes. Hard not to drink now, but a year or two will bring it even more together." James Suckling

"A mix of coffee and black olive flavors shade the core of black currant and black cherry in this dense, linear red, which is focused and long, with a mouthwatering finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2018 Grattamacco is the most elegant, refined and satisfying wine I have ever tasted from Grattamacco. There is a level of finesse here that is simply unreal. Bright and translucent, with tons of detail, the 2018 oozes with pedigree. Lavender, spice, mint, tobacco and dried flowers add an attractive upper register." Vinous

"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." Robert Parker
