93 Robert Parker
This is a special commemorative bottle that celebrates the thirtieth harvest at Grattamacco (1982-2012). The 2012 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco is a delicious wine with a touch of Mediterranean herb or rosemary oil that gives the wine sharpness and rigid contours. Grattamacco is Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. The tannins are silky and smooth. This wine should show a slow and steady evolution over the next ten years.

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.
