Heiner Lobenberg om:
Grattamacco Superiore 2021

/100

Gæret i trætanke og derefter modnet i 18 måneder i barriques. Dyb violet farve i glasset. I næsen er denne Grattamacco Superiore en arketypisk Cabernet-blanding! I denne store Bolgheri-årgang med perfekt modne druer blev noget af Cabernet Sauvignon efterladt på skindet i hele to måneder, som i 2019. Overdådig næse. Saftig, dyb, mørk frugt med forførende, dybe krydderier. Vanilje, lakrids, søde krydderier, tjære og en dyb, mørk jordbundethed. Aromatikken er ultrakraftig og pågående og præget af søde kirsebær og mørke brummende blåbær. I munden ruller et fløjlsagtigt, tæt tæppe af tanniner hen over tungen. Vinen har en genial spænding i kombination med tæthed. Intens og kompakt, men ikke spor tung! Sorte kirsebær, blommer, brombær med mørk chokolade og søde urter i eftersmagen. Grattamacco er altid en meget moderne vin; siden 2019-årgangen har den forvandlet sig fra en trætung macho til en absolut charmerende gentleman stort set fra den ene dag til den anden.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Grattamacco Superiore

Pouring a dark magenta, the 2021 Grattamacco is fruity and floral with aromas of lavender oils, plum, mocha, incense, and sweet earth. Full-bodied, it has refreshing acidity, defined, ripe tannins, and a good finish. It has a lot of potential and should improve and stand the test of time. It’s fantastically detailed. Drink 2026-2050.

Suckling om: Grattamacco Superiore

This is at a different level, with blackcurrants, blueberries and Mediterranean herbs, such as rosemary and sage. Also tobacco and coffee bean. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a persistent finish. Sophisticated and thought-provoking. A new quality level with this wine. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese. Give this three to five years.

Wine Spectator om: Grattamacco Superiore

Blueberry, black currant and pomegranate flavors are accented by oak spice, graphite and rosemary notes in this fresh, long red. Taut and vibrant, with terrific balance and a fine-grained band of tannins lining the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2043.

Decanter om: Grattamacco Superiore

As in 2009 and 2016, Grattamacco was made using the ‘Piemontese method’ in 2021, according to chief winemaker, Luca Marrone. This entails topping up the tanks during an extended post-fermentation maceration with wine from another vinification, such as a different plot or even a different grape variety. ‘It's risky, you can have spoilage,’ he admits. But the benefit is that there is more perceived roundness and body to the wine. The result in 2021 is superb, with bramble fruit fragrance and a dense, spicy palate of black and blue berries, silky tannins and sous bois complexity. The wonderful juicy softness of the fruit is energised by minty-fresh acidity, a spicy kick and a sapid, almost ferrous finish.

Parker om: Grattamacco Superiore

The superb Grattamacco 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco (a certified organic wine) is balanced and intense, yet it remains faithful to a medium-plus texture that never feels weighed down. That's one of the best qualities of this classical vintage: you get the power of the fruit with contained concentration and extraction. The bouquet is alive with blackcurrants, cherry, spice and hints of campfire ember. This is one of the jewels of Bolgheri. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese (with 60,000 bottles made). It ferments in conical oak vats with ambient yeasts and manual push-downs and ages in barrique for 18 months.

Galloni om: Grattamacco Superiore

A bold, sweeping wine, the 2021 Grattamacco is pretty impressive. Readers should expect a potent, extroverted red with tons of Bolgheri opulence. There’s plenty of supporting structure too, but at this stage it’s the wine’s intense, ripe profile that carries the day. A blast of blackberry, scorched earth, new leather, licorice and incense saturates the palate on the long, sustained finish.

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....
