Bolgheri Superiore 2019 Grattamacco

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (97)

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.

Beautiful aromas of currants and blackberries follow through to a medium to full body with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Lots of intensity and depth. Hints of fresh sage and bay leaf. From organically grown grapes. Wonderful to drink now, but even better in 2024.

Black cherry, quite a lot of earthiness for a young wine too, then firmly tannic on the palate. This is dense and compact, with just-ripe black fruit giving less overt expression than the 2018. Likely to be very long-lived, and has a sense of complexity that is just under the surface. Will take its time, but there's going to be grand proportions here in future.
