Bolgheri Rosso DOC 1,5 l Magnum - Grattamacco

In the glass, the organically produced Bolgheri Rosso 1.5 l Magnum from Grattamacco displays a dense purple-red color. When given some air by swirling it in the wine glass, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which is evident in the strong church windows on the glass wall. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from Italy presents wonderfully expressive aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by its maturation in wooden casks.

The Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso 1.5 l Magnum presents itself to the wine drinker pleasantly dry. This red wine is never coarse or meager, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety. Thanks to its pronounced fruit acidity, the Bolgheri Rosso 1.5 l Magnum appears delightfully fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Tuscany wine region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of blackberry and blackcurrant appear.
