The story
The Grattamacco estate was acquired by Piermario Meletti Cavallari in 1977; since then the company has been recognized as one of the pioneering realities of the Bolgheri area, with a long winemaking activity that has also led to the production of in-house distilled spirits.
Production philosophy
A territorial and pioneering approach: enhancing the specific characteristics of Bolgheri's soils and grapes and using estate-grown raw materials for artisanal products, combining traditional practices with careful quality focus.
Territory
Bolgheri / Castagneto Carducci, Province of Livorno, Tuscany, Italy.
Production method
For the grappa they select very fresh pomace, fermented in wooden vats, followed by a slow distillation in discontinuous pot stills with a water bath.
