97 James Suckling
A dark and complex wine not without grace. On the nose it shows restrained cassis, kiwis, anise, oak bark, cloves and a light touch of leaves. Full-bodied on the palate, with density, fine-grained tannins and crisp, exuberant acidity. Long, balanced, savory, slightly austere finish. Enjoyable for a kind of elegant lightness. It will be released in October 2025. Drinkable then, but best from 2026.

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese, the 2023 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco shows a full, generous profile marked by dark fruit, spice, grilled herb and pencil shaving. The fruit is sourced from 15 hectares of vineyards with limestone, flysch, marl, quartz and sandstone soils, elements that contribute brightness and a sense of aromatic sharpness. Shaped by a growing season that favored balance over sheer power, this carries youthful tannins, but compared to the rigidity of the 2022 vintage, the wine appears poised for a more harmonious and measured evolution. This is a release of 60,000 bottles.

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.
