The Bolgheri Superiore DOC by Grattamacco stands out as an excellent example of the winemaking prowess of the Bolgheri region, renowned for its intense and aromatic red wines. With a deep appreciation of the coastal Tuscan terroir, this wine is a fabulous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese that harmonize perfectly to create an unforgettable tasting experience.
The Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore presents itself with a deep ruby red color, practically impenetrable to the eye. On the nose, it opens with seductive fragrances of ripe red fruits, fine spices, and a subtle streak of wood smoke, due to aging in French oak barriques for up to 18 months. These aromas interweave creating an elegant and complex bouquet that anticipates a lively and robust structure.
On the palate, the wine expresses vibrant energy with well-integrated tannins and a surprising freshness. Notes of cassis, dark chocolate, and a light toasting blend into a long and persistent finish, testifying to the aging potential of this wine. Limited production and meticulous care in the cellar guarantee consistent quality, making each vintage unique and precious.
Food pairing: The Bolgheri Superiore DOC by Grattamacco is best expressed when served alongside rich dishes such as red meat roasts, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. It is also ideal as a meditation wine, to conclude a special evening.
This wine represents not only an excellent specimen of Bolgheri winemaking but also serves as an ambassador of its territory, showing how passion, climate, and terroir can interact harmoniously to produce world-renowned wines. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts wishing to add a touch of class to their cellar.
