Grattamacco

The name of the Grattamacco winery derives from “macco”, a word that meant “iron” in ancient Etruscan. The soil in which its vineyards are rooted is rich in minerals. In Tuscany, high up in the hills of the Bolgheri DOC, siblings Maria Iris and Claudio Tipa have been involved in the production of some of the most sought-after labels by lovers of good wine since the late 1970s. Grattamacco's vineyards are spread over 27 hectares and surrounded by a dense forest that separates them from the surrounding vineyards. This protective cordon contributes to the creation of a unique microclimate, favouring the cultivation of red varieties, such as Sangiovese, alongside white grapes, such as Vermentino. At the Grattamacco winery, part of the Collemassari group since 2002, the entire production process is carried out respecting the principles of organic agriculture and the host environment. The selections are selected manually and each grape is very carefully examined. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts, giving each of the Grattamacco wines an intense aroma and strong personality. Name and address of producer/distributor: Grattamacco - Loc. Lungagnano, 128, 57022 Castagneto Carducci (LI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
