Reviewed March 2025
Looking to the upcoming release, the 2022 Grattamacco pours a more youthful red/purple hue and opens to a more blue-fruited nature at this early stage, with sweetly perfumed aromas of blackberry, violet candies, pressed sage, and fresh earth. The palate is gorgeous and full, with velvety tannins, a youthful plushness of fruit, and its characteristic savory elements highlighting the wine with a long, balanced finish. It’s a very even wine but does show the stress of a hot year with late rains. It feels like the duck on water – graceful and peaceful above water, while underneath it has the structure to go the distance. It’s reminiscent of the 2012, although it seems to have more cushion. Drink 2027-2050. (AF)

A dark and complex wine not without grace. On the nose it shows restrained cassis, kiwis, anise, oak bark, cloves and a light touch of leaves. Full-bodied on the palate, with density, fine-grained tannins and crisp, exuberant acidity. Long, balanced, savory, slightly austere finish. Enjoyable for a kind of elegant lightness. It will be released in October 2025. Drinkable then, but best from 2026. (JS)

The organic Grattamacco 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco commemorates the estate’s 40th anniversary (1982–2022) with a special label. The wine is made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese. Rich and generous, the wine delivers a creamy texture with notable depth and concentration. While the hot 2022 vintage contributes an extra note of sweetness and ripeness, the balance holds firm thanks to the wine’s structure and the season’s naturally thicker-skinned fruit, which resulted in a bolder tannic profile. This anniversary release totals 60,000 bottles. (ML)

On the nose, pomegranates and figs are joined by balancing, savory aromas of dirt, terracotta, pepper and wild herbs. The palate stays balanced, as cranberries and citrus accentuate the fig note but more pepper and herbs hold it in check. Fierce tannins and vibrant acid create a structure which is austere in a pleasing, sophisticated way. (DC)

Notes

The 2022 Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore (DOC) marks a spectacular stylistic leap to the Tuscan coast, presenting a masterclass in how historic altitude and an unyielding commitment to Sangiovese can completely redefine the Bolgheri paradigm. Founded in 1977 as only the second estate in the region, Grattamacco stands apart from the alluvial valley floor. Winemaker Luca Marrone crafts this flagship, certified organic blend from hillside vineyards between 100 and 200 meters on the wind-swept hills of Castagneto Carducci, combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a crucial, identity-defining splash of Sangiovese (15%). Growing in a highly complex geological mosaic of white clay, marly limestone flysch, and quartz-bearing calcareous sandstone, the old vines handle the dry, luminous 2022 vintage with spectacular freshness and mineral poise.
