Grattamacco Rosso 1996
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Region: Toscana
This wine is simply gorgeous. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot blend from the renowned 1996 vintage has a glorious palate of frutti del bosco grounded by Tuscan earth, and laced with velvety tannins and shot with a piquant minerality. Perfect right now, and fewer than 1,500 cases made.
About the Producer
Piermario Meletti Cavallari has always been an enophile. He was very
content in his wine store in Bergamo but knew that he had a further
calling, so he set out to find a vineyard that he could make his own.
When he saw Grattamacco he knew immediately that he had found the right
place, so he settled in and began producing wine. The 1982 Grattamacco
was Cavallari's debut, and his subsequent wines have built him a
well-deserved reputation as one of Bolgheri's greatest producers.
With
the help of Claudio Tipa and consultant Maurizio Castelli, Cavallari is
now consistently producing impressive Super Tuscans: his evocative
Bolgheri Rosso is an opulent 50/50 blend of sangiovese and cabernet
sauvignon. He also makes a Bolgheri Bianco, a crisp, clean wine made
from vermentino. Grattamacco has managed to keep its prices down
because it has remained less conspicuous than its neighbors Sassicaia,
Ornellaia, and Antinori despite its outstanding wines. |
