2018 Grattamacco; 2022 Campo al Mare & 2022 Le volte dell’Ornellaia - Bolgheri - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

2018 Grattamacco:
Grattamacco, a winery founded in 1977, is located on the top of the hill overlooking the sea between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, 100 meters above sea level, in an area highly suited to the production of great wines. The name of the winery derives from the word "macco" whose Etruscan meaning is "iron": its soils were in fact Etruscan mines and are very rich in minerals. The 12-hectare farm was purchased by Claudio Tipa, already at the helm of Colle Massari, and today represents one of the strong points in Tuscany for the production of Bolgheri. Thanks to the help of the oenologist Luca Marrone and with the consultancy of Maurizio Castelli, Grattamacco demonstrates from year to year the consistent quality of its products, elegant and refined, perfectly representative of their area of ​​origin.
The Grattamacco vineyards are divided into two parts: the historic vineyards to the east of the Via Bolgherese, on the hills bordering the Bolgheri ditch to the north and the Segalari ridge to the south, and the vineyard to the west of the Bolgherese, in front of Magazzino. The first rests on soils of sandstone, clay and limestone-marly rock, with spurred cordon and guyot pruning, the second on clay-loam soils, with sapling pruning. A vast wooded area keeps the vineyards private, partially isolating them from the surrounding viticulture, thus helping to establish a specific and irreproducible microclimate. It is important to underline that all cultivation is carried out in an absolutely organic regime, giving the wines very high quality and respect for the environment.
