Grattamacco 2017

An iconic wine from Bolgheri

This elegant wine comes from the area of Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast and has a unique character. With notes of juicy blackcurrant, cedar wood and wild forest strawberries, mixed with delicate nuanced of rosemary and pepper. Beautifully balanced and harmonic, with a silky soft and complex structure. This historical label is a perfect marriage between Cabernet and Merlot, typical from this area, with the Sangiovese that in Bolgheri is very peculiar.

A wine from vineyards of 10 hectares located at 100 meters above sea level with an average age of 20 years that enjoy a gentle Mediterranean climate. After the hand picking harvest, the fermentation is pontaneous and take place in open wooden vats with manual punching down and long macerations. Aging is made in French oak barriques for 18 months, followed by a refining of 12 months in bottle.
