In the heart of the Bolgheri region and founded in the 1970s, Grattamacco quickly gained recognition for its commitment to producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of this coastal area.
The estate's vineyards are situated on the rolling hillsides overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, benefiting from the maritime influence that moderates the climate and contributes to the development of ripe, balanced grapes. Grattamacco is particularly known for its Bordeaux-style red blends, which often incorporate classic varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.
The winemaking philosophy at Grattamacco is deeply rooted in tradition, with a focus on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and sorted to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used in production. The flagship wine of Grattamacco is the Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore, a bold and structured red blend that exemplifies the estate's commitment to excellence. This wine typically displays rich flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and spice, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish.
