Grattamacco Superiore 2020

Gæret i trætanke og derefter modnet i 18 måneder i barriques. Dyb violet farve i glasset. En arketypisk Cabernet-blanding i næsen! Cassis, modne brombær, grøn peber og et strejf af frisk mynte. Den rustne jernholdige mineralitet smelter sammen med delikate vaniljenoter. Efter 2018, som var mere præget af træfade, er der ingen spor af dette i 2019, som er et sandt mirakel af finesse og et klart spring fremad for vingården. Den er på ingen måde letbenet, tværtimod er den en overdådig ganesmækker. I munden er det en sund blanding af fyldig Napa Cabernet og duftende Coonawarra. Fint struktureret, runde tanniner. En kraftfuld vin med violer, lakrids, mørke, sprøde, modne bær og saftige sorte kirsebær. Ganske frodig og alligevel ikke for fed, da vinen følger en rigtig spændingsbue. Den jernrige mineralitet bliver heller ikke forsømt i munden og smelter sammen med mørk chokolade. Den har endda nået sit drikkevindue. Fantastisk! Grattamacco har forvandlet sig fra macho til absolut charmerende gentleman. 97/100

Galloni om: Grattamacco Superiore

A stellar wine, the 2020 Grattamacco is dark, vibrant and nuanced to the core. Black fruit, lavender, spice, leather, menthol and dried herbs infuse the 2020 with tons of character and complexity. Deep yet also wonderfully translucent, the 2020 is one of the most finessed Grattamaccos I can remember tasting. There's incredible depth and resonance here, not to mention tons of personality. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Grattamacco Superiore

Next up is the 2020 Grattamacco, which really takes things up a notch. A deep ruby red, it offers decadent and harmoniously layered aromas of pristine oak spice, fresh leather, mossy earth, tobacco, and kirsch. Full-bodied and refined, it has a velvety texture, plush tannins, even acidity, and a long finish. This demands to be cellared and will continue to improve if adequately stored over the next two decades and likely beyond. Drink 2026-2046. 97/100

Decanter om: Grattamacco Superiore

‘This vintage gifted generous fruit with excellent, crisp acidities, alongside clean-edged balsam and pungent Mediterranean scrub,’ said winemaker, Luca Marrone. The grapes are hand-harvested in vineyards with an average age of 25 years. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in 7hl oak vats with a frequent and gentle manual pigeage, enabling long macerations and slow release of only fully ripe and noble tannins. This wine was aged for 18 months in oak barrels and bottled in August 2022. Restrained cassis and Mediterranean herb scents are allied to fresher red fruits and a floral touch. It's very well composed, demonstrating an elegant and juicy style with great integration of oak and youthful, chewy fruit. A Bolgheri to wait for – this is intended for the long haul.

Parker om: Grattamacco Superiore

In addition to the 2019 vintage, I previewed the 2020 and the 2021 vintages. I'm giving a temporary review to the 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco, but I'm holding back on the 2021 because it is too early. We have two exciting vintages before us. The 2021 (that is still in barrel) shows lots of perfumed intensity and an explosive mouthfeel. The 2020 tastes balanced and long with even more tannic structure to hold it firmly stitched together. The 2021 shows a seamless delivery of soft black fruit, cherry, spice and grilled herb. This is an iconic blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Sangiovese. 95-97/100

Vingården Grattamacco er en absolut topproducent på den toscanske kyst. Den ligger på en bakke mellem Castagneto Carducci og Bolgheri, i umiddelbar nærhed af vinmarkerne Tenuta San Guido. Iværksætteren Claudio Tipa og hans søster Maria Iris lejede først vingården i 2002, før de endelig købte den....
