The soul of Grattamacco lies in its unique terroir, where vineyards sit between 100 and 200 meters above sea level on a mosaic of sandy quartz, white clays, and marly limestone. This challenging terrain forces the vines—averaging 25 years in age—to dig deep, resulting in a spontaneous productive balance and naturally low yields. The winery is renowned for its environmentally respectful practices and innovative spirit, being the first in the area to utilize the alberello (bush-vines) training method for Cabernet Sauvignon. In the cellar, the grapes undergo a meticulous transformation; fermentation takes place in small open oak vats with gentle manual punching-down to extract only the most elegant tannins. The wine then matures for at least 18 months in French oak barriques, ensuring a sophisticated structure that honors its Mediterranean roots.
