2021 Grattamacco, Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy

The 2021 Grattamacco will be one for the history books. This is an absolutely outstanding wine: the nose abounds with concentrated dark berry fruit, cassis and licorice, accented by vibrant spice and floral tones. The wine is so long on the palate, developing from deep, sweet blackcurrant and black cherry to an ethereal and perfumed finish. This is structurally dense, but texturally, the wine is pure silk. It’s really very special, and if other vintages are anything to go by, this will age brilliantly.
