Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso

This was the first Bolgheri Rosso produced in the region back in 1979. Now a blend of all the estates grapes, its is 30% Cabernet, 30% Merlot, 25% Franc, 10% Sangiovese and 5% Petite Verdot. Fermentation is conducted in open truncated cone shaped vats followed by ageing in barriques (new and second passage) for 10 months, with a minimum of 6 months bottle refinement. An ample nose of red and black berry fruit, sweet spice and earthy notes. The palate hints at Tuscan flavours of leather, tar and grilled herbs, finishing rich and smooth.
