  • Goedhuis, August 2023

    L’Alberello has truly come of age this year. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, this cool, suave and sophisticated Super Tuscan exudes a fine array of dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit with subtle hints of Mediterranean herb and menthol that give it a true Bolgheri signature.

  • Wine Advocate, August 2023, Score: 94-96

    This is a preview look at the 2020 Bolgheri Superiore l'Alberello tasted at the winery. This wine is very different from the estate's flagship Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco. For one, the vines are planted according to the alberello or "bush" training system in a special symmetrical grid so that each plant enjoys the same exposure. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. This unfinished vintage shows a strong mineral or salty signature with earth, licorice, dried mint and wet clay. Drink now-2030.

Situated only a stone’s throw from Ornellaia and Sassicaia, Grattamacco has become one of the top releases from Bolgheri in recent vintages regularly outscoring its illustrious neighbours. Established in 1977 Grattamacco is Bolgheri’s second oldest estate after Tenuta San Guido. In 2002 it was purchased by Mario Iris and Claudio Tipa, owners of the iconic Brunello, Poggio di Sotto, and their investment has transformed the fortunes here. Grattamacco’s 25 hectares of steep, hilly vineyards sit at an altitude of 150 metres with the Mediterranean visible from the winery only a mile away. The vines are perfectly exposed to the microclimate here which provides an excellent balance of warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings.Read less

Region

Bolgheri

The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
