Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso 2023

Wine Enthusiast : 96 Points

(11/1/2025) The nose is earthy and umami, with aromas of damp soil, herbs, coffee, pencil shavings and blackberries. Sweet and tart blackberries are layered with herbs on the palate, while the finish is hot and peppery. Tannins are magnificently unapologetic, and there's a sense of anticipation around what the wine will become when they begin to relax.

(3/18/2025) The 2023 Bolgheri Rosso highlights the importance of the Cabernet Franc in the blend. In the glass, it displays a purple/red color and is highly expressive with wonderful energy on the nose. Fermented in stainless steel tank, and then in used barrels (3 to 4 years old), the nose reveals lively aromas of currants, graphite, black raspberries, sweet herbs, and floral perfume. The palate is full-bodied, with a refreshing, compact, and angular structure, well-defined tannins, an even spine of acidity, and notes of dusty earth through the finish. An overachiever with exceptional purity, this is an early contender for top lists of the year. Bravo. Drink 2026-2040.
