GRATTAMACCO BOLGHERI SUPERIORE 2009 1.5L

Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2009, 1.5 Litre Magnum
Equivalent to two standard 750 ml bottles, each robust magnum serves about 10 glasses of wine

“This bottle gives us a stunning view back in time. The 2009 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco needs a little extra time to open, but it eventually reveals a beautifully lifted bouquet with dark fruit, tar and licorice. This wine does not show the green balsamic tones that we saw in the 2008 vintage that I also tasted at the same time. This wine taste much younger than its real age and still has time to age. Interestingly, the alcohol content is 14% (similar to the 2008), and these are the first vintages in which we start to see higher alcohol due to climate change, I am told by the winery team. Best after 2022.” – 95/100, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
