The organic Grattamacco 2021 Bolgheri Vermentino shows the results of an extra year in bottle with steely mineral notes followed by ripe apple and preserved lemon. There is just a hint of evolution in this white from 2021 that gives it pretty layers of flint and ash. The wine is drinking beautifully right now, especially in terms of mouthfeel thanks to its clean, mid-weight texture and freshness. It is partially aged in tonneaux, and there is a delicate hint of vanilla spice. This characterful wine comes from old and precious vines. Some 15,000 bottles were made. This is one of the top Vermentinos on the market today. ... More details

A pale straw hue, the 2021 Grattamacco is phenomenal on the nose with Riesling-like petrol aromatics that take this wine to the next level among its peers. Notes of white peach, fresh-cut fennel bulb, and lime blossoms cascade from the glass. Medium-bodied without ever feeling lean, it floats across the palate with notes of salted lime zest and a clean, savory finish. A remarkable wine, it will be an enjoyable, age-worthy white to check in on over several years if you have the restraint to hold onto it. Drink 2024-2034.

A sleek white, with elements of ripe peach and melon blending with Mediterranean scrub, bitter citrus and crushed stone. Vibrant and also leaves a chalky feel on the extended finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,100 cases made, 200 cases imported.

A mid-weighted iteration, dry, fresh and admirably textural, with baked apple, spiced pear and lemon drop notes compressed by a curb of attractive French oak. The finish, a rail of maritime salinity melded to the cedar wood signposts. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Winery
A white wine of exquisite aromatic complexity and depth. On the palate, Grattamacco Bolgheri Vermentino expresses a saline minerality and rigorous freshness, with a supple and creamy texture and remarkable longevity. This wine can be paired with any fish.

Varietal: Vermentino

Vermentino grapes are widely grown in many parts of Europe and the New World, and are especially associated with the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, where they make up a majority of the white wine grapes cultivated. Vermentino is highly popular with vintners, as they are very easy to grow and require little specialist attention. Indeed, the vines are famously vigorous, and resistant to disease, meaning that high yields of reliable quality are commonplace in Vermentino vineyards. The wines themselves are usually a pale straw yellow in color, and relatively light in body and alcohol content. They normally hold bright, fresh flavors of green apple and lime, and are much loved for their freshness and zingy, acidic crispness. As such, they are commonly served alongside seafood, and are a highly pleasant wine to drink outside on a sunny day.

Region: Tuscany

All over the stunning region of Tuscany in central Italy, you'll see rolling hills covered in green, healthy grapevines. This region is currently Italy's third largest producer of wines, but interestingly wineries here are generally happy with lower yields holding higher quality grapes, believing that they have a responsibility to uphold the excellent reputation of Tuscany, rather than let it slip into 'quantity over quality' wine-making as it did in the mid twentieth century. The region has a difficult soil type to work with, but the excellent climate and generations of expertise more than make up for this problem. Most commonly, Tuscan vintners grow Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes, although more and more varietals are being planted nowadays in order to produce other high quality wine styles.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
