Description

The Grattamacco winery, founded in 1977, was the second winery in the Bolgheri region and the first to vinify Bolgheri Rosso. It is located between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri on a hill overlooking the Tuscan coast. The 34 hectares of vineyards are situated at an altitude of 100 to 200 metres above sea level and are planted with grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Vermentino.

The Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2023 combines juicy red and dark fruits with notes of baked plum, chocolate, and tobacco. On the palate, it is powerful, spicy, and silky with fine tannins – a characterful introduction to the world of great Bolgheri wines.

In Portrait:

Grattamacco

Grattamacco, one of Bolgheri’s historic estates, is among the most important producers on the Tuscan coast. Since 1977, it has produced characterful wines that unite Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc with Tuscan terroir. The vineyards lie on hills between 100 and 200 m above sea level, where sea breezes, cool nights and limestone- and clay-rich soils create ideal conditions. Grattamacco wines combine power and elegance: dark fruit, fine spice, lively acidity and polished tannins. Alongside the iconic Grattamacco Rosso, the Bolgheri Rosso and white wines also impress with depth and balance. The estate is a firm fixture among the Super Tuscans and an ambassador for Bolgheri’s Mediterranean finesse.

Origin in Focus

Tuscany

Tuscany is one of Italy’s defining wine regions, known for Sangiovese and iconic appellations such as Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The Mediterranean climate with sea breezes and diverse soils produces elegant, fresh wines with structure. On the coast, ‘Super Tuscans’ are also made from Cabernet, Merlot and other varieties. In addition to red wines, the region offers characterful whites such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Vermentino, as well as the traditional dessert wine Vin Santo. The result: tradition meets innovation – with clear terroir expression and great drinking pleasure.
