Pioneers of Bolgheri
A winery of pioneers: the second winery of producers to be founded in Bolgheri in 1977. The first ever to vinify Bolgheri Rosso, to believe in Vermentino and to enhance the vineyards of the hills; one of the few to keep Sangiovese in the blend that gives life to Bolgheri Superiore. Under the centuries-old holm oak of the farmhouse, in 1994 the architects of the regulations that began the winemaking history of the denomination met.

Between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, on the top of a wooded hill, Grattamacco enjoys an enviable view of the Tuscan coast.
The company includes an area of ​​80 hectares of which 34 are planted with vineyards and 5 with olive groves. The remaining area is covered by woods that extend for over 1600 hectares all around. Native varieties such as Sangiovese and Vermentino are grown, but also international vines that have changed the history of Bolgheri: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, planted since the 1980s.

Grattamacco is located on one of the most important concentrations of sodic clay and flysch on the Bolgheri coast. The clays emerge to the surface creating a white layer visible to the naked eye. It is the result of the evaporation of an ancestral salt lake, a residue of the ocean retreat.

The work is carried out by hand, seeking the least possible intervention. We act on the details and the real needs of the wines, in search of a "pure", "uncontaminated" style, capable of restoring the authentic bond between the wine and its land.
