"The organic Grattamacco 2021 Bolgheri Vermentino shows the results of an extra year in bottle with steely mineral notes followed by ripe apple and preserved lemon. There is just a hint of evolution in this white from 2021 that gives it pretty layers of flint and ash. The wine is drinking beautifully right now, especially in terms of mouthfeel thanks to its clean, mid-weight texture and freshness. It is partially aged in tonneaux, and there is a delicate hint of vanilla spice. This characterful wine comes from old and precious vines. Some 15,000 bottles were made. This is one of the top Vermentinos on the market today."

"A pale straw hue, the 2021 Grattamacco is phenomenal on the nose with Riesling-like petrol aromatics that take this wine to the next level among its peers. Notes of white peach, fresh-cut fennel bulb, and lime blossoms cascade from the glass. Medium-bodied without ever feeling lean, it floats across the palate with notes of salted lime zest and a clean, savory finish. A remarkable wine, it will be an enjoyable, age-worthy white to check in on over several years if you have the restraint to hold onto it. Drink 2024-2034."
Wine Spectator, 91 Points
"A sleek white, with elements of ripe peach and melon blending with Mediterranean scrub, bitter citrus and crushed stone. Vibrant and also leaves a chalky feel on the extended finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,100 cases made, 200 cases imported."
James Suckling, 91 Points
"A mid-weighted iteration, dry, fresh and admirably textural, with baked apple, spiced pear and lemon drop notes compressed by a curb of attractive French oak. The finish, a rail of maritime salinity melded to the cedar wood signposts. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
