Grattamacco Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore DOC Magnum 1,5 ℓ, In Holzkiste

This Bolgheri Rosso Superiore was born in the Grattamacco estate, located on the top of a hill overlooking the sea between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri. It is mainly produced with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and Sangiovese grapes, harvested and selected exclusively by hand from the second half of September to the first week of October. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in open wooden vats, with maceration in contact with the skins, after which the wine ages in first and second passage barriques for 18 months, followed by an aging period of at least 12 months in bottle. It has a bright ruby red color. The nose opens with a fine and intense bouquet, with hints of berries and cassis, enriched with pleasant balsamic and spicy notes. On the palate it is fresh and savory, with balanced tannins and a complex and aromatic finish. Perfect to accompany game and game, this wine is ideal in combination with braised meats and medium-aged hard cheeses.
