The bouquet combines notes of cherry, mulberry and blackcurrant with hints of graphite, leather, coffee, cigar box and refined vegetal nuances. On the palate, it is glyceric and enveloping, supported by a solid structure and well-integrated \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sip stands out for its warmth and \u003cstrong\u003elong persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfectly consistent with the initial aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates in Castagneto Carducci, at the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eBolgheri\u003c\/strong\u003e wine region. The vineyards are cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003egoblet training system\u003c\/strong\u003e, an agronomic choice that defines the project’s identity through manual care and precise spacing between the vines. The roots delve into \u003cstrong\u003esandy-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with a moderate limestone content, a composition that enhances aromatic clarity and a well-defined structural texture. Grattamacco is a historic estate, instrumental in promoting the value of the Tuscan region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction limits yields to a maximum of one kilogram of grapes per branch, in order to concentrate the fruit’s quality. After manual harvesting, \u003cstrong\u003ealcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in small wooden conical vats, encouraging prolonged maceration. This is followed by malolactic fermentation with maturation in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, during which the wine gains stability and breadth. The production cycle concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least twelve months, essential for harmonising the structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1977, Grattamacco is a historic winery, a pioneer in enhancing the Bolgheri region. \u003cstrong\u003eL’Alberello 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to the vine training system of the same name: here, the vines are tended entirely by hand, with a strict yield of just one kilogram of grapes per plant to maximise quality.
