Grattamacco is the second oldest Bolgheri estate, founded in 1977. The estate lies on a hilly place by the same name, the name Grattamacco refers to the “macco”, a mineral which was scraped away (“grattato”) during the iron working process carried out by the Etruscans on these hills.
Dark ruby red, the nose displays intense fruity hints, accompanied by balsamic notes and Mediterranean flora. The well-integrated wood offers elegant smoky notes. The palate impact is austere and of a remarkable freshness. The tannic structure and the refreshing acidity accompany the long finish, where the mineral notes re-emerging extensively.
