GRATTAMACCO

A winemaking company of pioneers: the second winery to be established in Bolgheri in 1977; the very first to vinify Bolgheri Rosso, to believe in Vermentino and to enhance high-altitude vineyards; one of the few to maintain Sangiovese in the blend that gives life to Bolgheri Superiore. Since the '90s, Grattamacco has maintained a revolutionary approach in the organic management of its 34 hectares of vineyards, located on soils that host some of the most significant concentrations of white clays and flysch along the Tuscan coast. Here, indigenous vines such as Sangiovese and Vermentino coexist with international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. These vines were planted in the '80s and have remarkably adapted to the lands of Grattamacco. The soul of Grattamacco lies in «bare» winemaking. Operations are carried out by hand, intervening as little as possible, in pursuit of a «pure» and «uncontaminated» style that reflects the authentic bond between wine and its land.
