The 2013 Bolgheri Rosso does a great job of presenting this balanced vintage. The wine shows an impressive level of equilibrium and intensity with tonic fruit flavors that are tight and focused. It does not have the jammy overtones present in some of the other wines from 2013. In fact, the fruit element is full of freshness, crispness and linearity. Plump cherry is the protagonist but the wine also offers integrated tones of spice, leather and tobacco. This is a delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese.
Producer
Podere Grattamacco
Situated between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, the Podere Grattamacco estate sites on a picturesque hilltop facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Founded in 1997 by Piermario Meletti Cavallari, the winery is currently owned by Claudio Tipa of the ColleMassari Group. A pioneer in the region, Grattamacco was the second estate to commercialize wine production in this now-famous appellation, Bolgheri. The work of founder, Piermario led to the redefinition of Bolgheri reds – refined, harmonious wines perfumed of spice, floral and herb scents. Today, Claudio and consulting enologist, Maurizio Castelli organically farm the 50-hectare property. The land is made up of woodlands, olive groves and 25-hectares of vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino. The upward sloping hills of the property provide a unique micro-climate defined by dry and consistent bursts of thermal waves. The recently renovated winery produces several first-rate reds, as well as one highly sophisticated white, the Bolgheri Vermentino.
