The 2024 Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso (DOC) is a masterfully balanced, intellectual, and incredibly fresh expression that highlights why this estate remains a pioneering icon of the Tuscan coast. While many Bolgheri reds lean heavily into opulent, over-extracted international styles, Grattamacco takes a distinctively vertical path by preserving a major stake for Sangiovese alongside its foundational blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Sourced from certified organic hillside vineyards planted on unique mixtures of calcareous sandstone, marl, and flysch, the wine is fermented in open-top truncated cone oak vats using native yeasts, followed by roughly 10 months of maturation in neutral French oak barriques.
