Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2008

The estate's 2004 L'Alberello reveals gorgeous, exotic Cabernet Franc aromas that lead to perfumed layers of dark fruit, black pepper, juniper berries and spices, with notes of sweet toasted oak that linger on the finish. The wine's vibrant color, open-knit texture and finessed tannins all make for an absolutely compelling glass of wine. L'Alberello is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged 18 months in French oak.

About the producer

Grattamacco
Grattamacco

Grattamacco’s story begins when Piermario Meletti Cavallari purchased an abandoned vineyard in 1977 and grafted over many of the vines. He produced one of the earliest Super Tuscans in 1982 – a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese and a wine which continues to earn acclaim today.
