Coming on the heels of the scorching hot 2017, this vintage started off with lots of rain in April and May that required preventative measures against fungal disease. Splendid heat and sunshine marked the summer months, but the freshness you taste in this wine is a beautiful characteristic of this cooler growing season. The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco reveals a finely nuanced bouquet with dark fruit, tobacco, smoke and earthy garrigue or underbrush. The wine leans toward full-bodied, but it also feels quite elegant and crisp on the streamlined finish.
96 Vinous
The 2018 Grattamacco is the most elegant, refined and satisfying wine I have ever tasted from Grattamacco. There is a level of finesse here that is simply unreal. Bright and translucent, with tons of detail, the 2018 oozes with pedigree. Lavender, spice, mint, tobacco and dried flowers add an attractive upper register.

A mix of coffee and black olive flavors shade the core of black currant and black cherry in this dense, linear red, which is focused and long, with a mouthwatering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2024 through 2040. 4,100 cases made, 430 cases imported.

Currants, blackberries and hints of chocolate and fresh herbs. Full-bodied and round-tannined with a lovely texture and a savory, almost iron finish. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese. From organically grown grapes. Hard not to drink now, but a year or two will bring it even more together.

Podere Grattamacco
Situata tra Castagneto Carducci e Bolgheri, la tenuta Podere Grattamacco si trova su una collina pittoresca affacciata sul mar Tirreno. Fondata nel 1997 da Piermario Meletti Cavallari, attualmente l'azienda vitivinicola è di proprietà di Claudio Tipa del Gruppo Colle Massari. Pioniere della zona, Grattamacco fu la seconda tenuta a commercializzare il vino prodotto in quella che è diventata la famosa denominazione Bolgheri. Il lavoro di Piermario, il fondatore, ha portato alla ridefinizione dei rossi di Bolgheri: vini raffinati e armoniosi con profumi di spezie, fiori ed erbe. Oggi Claudio e il consulente enologo Maurizio Castelli coltivano i 50 ettari della proprietà con metodo biologico. La terra è costituita da boschi, uliveti e 25 ettari di vigneti piantati a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot e Vermentino. Le colline della proprietà offrono un microclima unico, definito da onde termiche asciutte e costanti. La cantina, ristrutturata recentemente, produce diversi rossi di prim'ordine e un bianco molto sofisticato, il Bolgheri Vermentino.
