2022 Bolgheri Rosso Superiore Grattamacco

The organic Grattamacco 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco commemorates the estate’s 40th anniversary (1982–2022) with a special label. The wine is made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese. Rich and generous, the wine delivers a creamy texture with notable depth and concentration. While the hot 2022 vintage contributes an extra note of sweetness and ripeness, the balance holds firm thanks to the wine’s structure and the season’s naturally thicker-skinned fruit, which resulted in a bolder tannic profile. This anniversary release totals 60,000 bottles.

Full bottle just 1,255 g. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese (this last unusual for a Bolgheri). This vintage celebrates 30 years of Grattamacco. Certified organic. Medium shaded garnet. Complex and warming on the nose. Already approachable even though there is no shortage of ripe tannins underneath, with even a note of honey! Really very gorgeous texture and fine tannins with great complexity. Really long. (JR)

A dark and complex wine not without grace. On the nose it shows restrained cassis, kiwis, anise, oak bark, cloves and a light touch of leaves. Full-bodied on the palate, with density, fine-grained tannins and crisp, exuberant acidity. Long, balanced, savory, slightly austere finish. Enjoyable for a kind of elegant lightness. It will be released in October 2025. Drinkable then, but best from 2026.
