Vinification
Grattamacco Vermentino grows in Bolgheri’s oldest Vermentino vineyards, the oldest of which vaunts a 36-year-old life-span. Lying at 100 metres’ elevation on a natural terrace facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, just 8 kilometres distant, the vines send their roots into white clay-rich soil with abundant calcareous flysch marl. The sea breeze-tempered Mediterranean climate here favours an organic viticultural regime designed to preserve the authenticity of the Grattamacco hillslope terroir.
One-third of the must fermented in small oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel. Grattamacco Vermentino matured 6 months sur lie with frequent bâtonnage and was bottled on 1 June 2023.
