Grattamacco - L'Alberello Toscana IGT 2021

IN STOCK

Grattamacco was founded in 1977 and was the second winery of the Bolgheri appellation, following Sassicaia. Grattamacco has lead the region in environmentally responsible farming, and was the first to use an Alberello or head-pruned method in Bolgheri. The winery lies on a rise between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, with a panoramic view of the Tuscan coast. The Grattamacco vineyards are located at about 330 ft. above sea level, in a wonderfully protected plot that spans over one of Bolgheri's only two hills, and is surrounded by other internationally renowned Bolgheri properties. The property has been part of the ColleMassari Group since 2002.

A precise and driven young red with blackcurrant, blackberry, sandalwood and lavender aromas that follow through to an extremely pure and polished palate that is rather endless on the finish. A blend of 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% cabernet franc that is co-fermented. Lot of energy here. Give this four or five years to come around.

"A precise and powerful young red wine with flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, sandalwood and lavender leading to an extremely pure and polished palate that is quite endless on the finish. Lots of energy here." - 97 Points, James Suckling

"This red wine is concentrated but overall elegant, with flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar, herbs and iron accompanied by lively acidity. Assertive, dusty tannins line the long finish." - 92 Points, Wine Spectator
