Bolgheri Superiore 2019 Podere Grattamacco
Wat een overtuigende wijn is dit, met aroma's van een complete Italiaanse kruidentuin (rozemarijn, tijm, salie). De wijn is inktachtig van kleur en krachtig qua structuur. Koffie, zwarte olijven en bessen vechten om de aandacht. Met een verfijnde, cabernet sauvignon-gedreven stijl biedt deze Superiore ongekende frisheid. Bovendien heeft deze wijn een prijs kwaliteitsverhouding die alle grote namen uit Bolgheri ver achter zich laat.

Grattamacco is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese, which certainly contributes to the fresher style of this wine. The whole picture is complete only when understanding that the vineyards used for this blend are among the highest of the appellation. According to winemaker Luca Marrone, in 2019 the ripening of the grapes was slow and the harvests took place on 4 October. Grattamacco shines for its signature leafy, Mediterranean forest aromas, with assertive kiwi peel, restrained cassis, bell pepper and chocolate flavours. The attack is velvety, youthful and firm, less easy-going compared to Alberello but more tight-knit and extremely elegant - the Sangiovese grapes seem to emphasise the red freshness of the fruit. The length is amazing.

The 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese) is a real beauty and shows very nicely today based on advancing vine age alone. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines show great results after seven years, whereas Merlot and Sangiovese vines need a few more years before they start to show that extra degree of complexity, the winemaking team tells me. This is a complete and beautifully balanced wine that shows soft extraction and especially sweet tannins. It fermented in truncated conical oak vats and finished in barrique for 18 months.
