A Bolgheri with a maritime, Mediterranean and mineral character. Podere Grattamacco’s Bolgheri Rosso is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, as well as 10% Sangiovese, a grape variety rarely found in the Bolgheri area but capable of imparting freshness and making the red wine’s aromatic intensity even more explosive. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation in small, truncated conical wooden vats using indigenous yeasts. 100 ml: E=316 kJ/76 kcal
A deep ruby red colour with purple hues. On the nose, elegant fruity notes, seductive spice, balsamic hints and a subtle vegetal touch, but what is most intriguing are the hints of Mediterranean scrub and seaweed that emerge from the glass. On the palate, this is confirmed: good savouriness, in line with expectations, and spicy hints of pepper that accompany sweet tannins towards a richly flavoured finish.
A high-quality entry-level wine, perfect for everyday enjoyment paired with red meat dishes, even those with good structure.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.
