In Bolgheri, the vineyards at around 100 m above sea level look out over the nearby Mediterranean Sea. The anything but simple Bolgheri is much less inferior to the top wine Grattamacco than the considerable price difference suggests. The grapes ferment here in conical wooden vats. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 10% Sangiovese. Expansion in 2- and 3-year-old wood. Deliberately on the fruity side, but there of wonderful complexity: cassis, tobacco, prunes. The fine-grained tannins also help this wine to melt on the tongue with pleasure.
