This rich blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese) opens with pretty chocolate tones followed by opulent cherry, spice, leather, tobacco and cola. This is a well shaped and focused wine with a linear, elegant feel in the mouth capped by soft, chewy texture.

Grattamacco 2008 L'Alberello Red (Bolgheri Superiore)
-
$75
Here’s a brawny, masculine wine from coastal Tuscany with aromas of blackberry, olive, chopped rosemary and milled white pepper. There’s a touch of sweetness on the close, followed by long, soft, silky tannins. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Grattamacco 2005 Red (Bolgheri Superiore)
-
$115
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese, this beautiful Bolgheri blend exhibits enormous purity and elegance. The 2005 vintage was on the warm side, but that extra sunshine has shaped a soft, velvety wine with bright, succulent fruit flavors. This is a generous, upfront wine that will add a touch of sophistication to your dinner table.
