Grattamacco Rosso 1998
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Region: Toscana
As its fellow Super-Tuscans from the house of Ornellaia, Grattamacco is known for delivering remarkable constancy—yet another example of a premier producer whose efforts are not compromised by aberrant vintages. It knew exactly what it was before Super-Tuscans came to be.
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. |
