Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe dark berry fruits, floral spice and flinty floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum with cacao, herbs, oak and slight earthy edge. Soft tannins, well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, cedar and earthy tobacco. Very nice! Drinking well but will improve in bottle. Great with pasta Bolognese!

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2. No formal notes. The 2020 Bolgheri Rosso by Grattamacco pours a deep garnet color and is well endowed with ripe red and black fruits, a touch of leather baseball glove, espresso, cigar paper, dried green herbs, and arid earth. The wine is bone dry with imposing structure. The tannins and acid are both squarely in the medium+ category. I really love the approach and style from Grattamacco; these wines are so wonderfully Italian while many other in the Super Tuscan category are so international, it’s often hard to tell where their from. Drink now and through 2030.

Very nice Super Tuscan. Slightly sweet and smooth, with cherry flavors and a long finish. Perfect with Italian food and very reasonably priced.

I thought this was loaded with cassis and tobacco with a sort of Italian “dust” that I find in the better, more authentic Super Tuscan wines. Fantastic structure for being the Rosso. I can only imagine how well the 2015 Superiore will be when I finally get around to pulling the cork in one of the two sleeping in my cellar. These Rossos are just fine to drink now but will age well for the next five years.

Complex nose with red fruit and balsamic. Still young and will improve with age.

Very solid super Tuscan made in a less opulent, rustic style. It really opened up and shed the green notes as we were drinking it. Needs food but versatile for a cab-dominant wine.

Bolgheri DOC 2012, 13.5%.
Bottle tasted in October 2014. Elegant blend, with nose rich of dark red fruits. Full bodied and very satisfying in the mouth. Considering it's only a 2012 vintage I was pleased with the wine.
