On the nose it shows restrained cassis, kiwis, anise, oak bark, cloves and a light touch of leaves. Full-bodied on the palate, with density, fine-grained tannins and crisp, exuberant acidity. Long, balanced, savory, slightly austere finish. Enjoyable for a kind of elegant lightness. It will be released in October 2025. Drinkable then, but best from 2026.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe organic Grattamacco 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco commemorates the estate’s 40th anniversary (1982–2022) with a special label. The wine is made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese. Rich and generous, the wine delivers a creamy texture with notable depth and concentration. While the hot 2022 vintage contributes an extra note of sweetness and ripeness, the balance holds firm thanks to the wine’s structure and the season’s naturally thicker-skinned fruit, which resulted in a bolder tannic profile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate's 40th anniversary vintage, this 2022 leads with minty red and black berry aromas. Fleshy, sapid and saline, it has a very fresh and vertical profile but is just a little bit drying on the finish at this stage. Floral overtones mingle with pepper and herbs, while tangy red forest berries are supported by silky and integrated tannins. Tight and energetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92pts Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tightly wound, dense red that will require a few years to unwind. Black cherry, black currant, plum, iron and Mediterranean herb notes are locked up by the beefy tannins. Tips to the astringent side, yet this should find a better equilibrium in a year or two. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2028 through 2042.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92pts Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, pomegranates and figs are joined by balancing, savory aromas of dirt, terracotta, pepper and wild herbs. The palate stays balanced, as cranberries and citrus accentuate the fig note but more pepper and herbs hold it in check. Fierce tannins and vibrant acid create a structure which is austere in a pleasing, sophisticated way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrattamacco Bolgheri Superiore L'Alberello shows a deep purple core with ruby reflections. The wine is generous and silky on the palate with rich aromas and flavors of wild blackberries and plums, black pepper, and balsamic. The structure is defined by dense, yet soft tannins and a mouthwatering acidity that is marked by a sense of saltiness. A long and harmonious finish presupposes a very long life of development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Sangiovese\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53789768188268,"sku":"09870903623","price":134.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/products\/grattamacco-superiore-2018-750ml-207300_cff0fe41-56a9-4523-a1ec-30abc16f39f6.jpg?v=1691452446","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/grattamacco-superiore-2022-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
