Grattamacco has lead the region in environmentally responsible farming, and was the first to use an Alberello or head-pruned method in Bolgheri. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three varieties are harvested together on the same day, creating a blend that spontaneously ferments in small oak truncated cone vats with manual punching down and long maceration with indigenous yeast. This wine is aged for 16 months in oak barriques prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrattamacco Bolgheri Superiore L'Alberello shows a deep purple core with ruby reflections. The wine is generous and silky on the palate with rich aromas and flavors of wild blackberries and plums, black pepper, and balsamic. The structure is defined by dense, yet soft tannins and a mouthwatering acidity that is marked by a sense of saltiness. A long and harmonious finish presupposes a very long life of development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoes well with game, e.g. local preparations of wild boar, roast, braised and stewed red meats, and medium aged cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 points Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA primarily peppery, meaty, savory nose is balanced by tangy undertones of blackberries, currants and black plums, and that balance continues on the palate. Which layers blackberries with soil and tops it off with a dusting of pepper. A wine that’s simultaneously chalky, dense, earthy, and peppery, and most importantly, immensely satisfying.
