Vintage 2022

FOR ITS FORTY YEARS, GRATTAMACCO EXHIBITS ITSSELF WITH A SURPRISING FRESHNESS AND REMARKABLE BALANCE, EMBELLISHING THE ELEGANT CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS ORIGIN.

Climate

An initial phase dictated by the drought of early summer was followed by a period in which the grapes recovered greater integrity and ripened more evenly thanks to the abundant late summer rainfall. The harvest for Grattamacco began in late August and concluded on September 24th.

Winemaking

Grattamacco is produced from vineyards located between 100 and 200 meters above sea level, whose soil is characterized by white clay mixed with marly calcareous flysch and quartz and calcareous sandstone. The Mediterranean climate is tempered by frequent sea breezes. Viticulture, based on methods and principles that are entirely respectful of the environment, allows for a spontaneous production balance with low yields per hectare. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected from vineyards with an average age of 25 years. Fermentation took place in open oak vats, with gentle and repeated manual punching down, allowing for long macerations and a slow release of only the finest tannins. The wine was aged for 18 months in barriques and bottled in August 2024.
