Tasting Notes
Will Di Nunzio 95
Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore 2019
Grattamacco’s flagship is a consistent leader of the Super-Tuscan pack, and in 2019 this dark horse is juicy, crackling with energy, and especially delicious. Brambly berries and crisp red fruits layer with peppery spices, melted dark chocolate, black licorice, warm earth, and kisses of oak and vanilla. Tannins are tight yet silky in this wine that’s a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 15% Sangiovese, and acidity is perfectly balanced by sweet fruits — everything is in place to make the 2019 Grattamacco a treat both now and years from now. You can’t go wrong with this under-the-radar winner!
