Grattamacco 2009

Podere Grattamacco (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2009 Årgangen (producentens tekst, engelsk): One of the longest-lasting harvests in the history of grattamacco, a vintage that presents a true syntony of the depth and breadth of its wines. Vejret (producentens tekst): Both winter and spring were cool and rainy, but budbreak occurred normally. May was dry but rains fell again in June, although with no negative impact on vine development or flowering. Summer was sunny, almost without rain, and often brought above-average heat, all of which encouraged early ripening in Merlot and Sangiovese. Harvesting started in the final days of August.
