Grattamacco - L'Alberello 2022 (750ml) Hondarribi Beltza

Grattamacco - L'Alberello 2022 (750ml) Hondarribi BeltzaGrattamacco was founded in 1977 and was the second winery of the Bolgheri appellation, following Sassicaia. Grattamacco has lead the region in environmentally responsible farming, and was the first to use an Alberello or head pruned method in Bolgheri. Wine Production The three varieties are harvested together on the same day, creating a blend that spontaneously ferments in small oak truncated cone vats with manual punching down and long maceration

It has moderate ripeness—in fact

almost broodingly backward

Always very aromatic

Enjoy with grilled red meats

gently tannic

2022 vintage

yet it certainly has the substance to suggest long-term aging

This wine pairs well with appetizers
