Grattamacca has been a trailblazer in Bolgheri as one of first wineries established in the region and the first winery in many regards. While their Cabernet and Merlot is especially renowned in Tuscany, their inclusion of Sangiovese in their Super Tuscans was unprecedented and flipped the region on its head.
The Grattamacco vineyards are located at an about 100 meters above sea level, in a wonderfully protected position over one of Bolgheri’s only two hills. It’s the nice part of time. Along with Grattamacco, their neighbors with triple digit price tag wines make the name Bolgheri internationally renowned.
The 2018 Grattamacca Bolgheri Rosso is absolutely phenomenal – outclassing and nearly outpointing some of its more famous (and way more expensive) neighbors. This one’s a powerhouse with a youthful charm you can enjoy now but it also has the structure to age for a very long time.
The 96-point score from James Suckling is our little secret. As soon as the importer realizes what he’s got, I’m sure he’ll have a dozen more calls to make. This is the bargain of the year in Tuscany. I can now say it confidently.

A dense and powerful young wine with ripe tannins. Full-bodied, juicy and rich. Striking structure and fruit.

92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Wine Spectator
Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
