About the Producer:
Piermario Meletti
Cavallari has always been an enophile. He was very content in his
wine store in Bergamo but knew that he had a further calling, so he
set out to find a vineyard that he could make his own. When he saw
Grattamacco he knew immediately that he had found the right place,
so he settled in and began producing wine. The 1982 Grattamacco was
Cavallari's debut, and his subsequent wines have built him a well-deserved
reputation as one of Bolgheri's greatest producers.
With the help of Claudio Tipa and consultant Maurizio Castelli, Cavallari
is now consistently producing impressive Super Tuscans: his evocative
Bolgheri Rosso is an opulent 50/50 blend of sangiovese and cabernet
sauvignon. He also makes a Bolgheri Bianco, a crisp, clean wine made
from vermentino. Grattamacco has managed to keep its prices down because
it has remained less conspicuous than its neighbors Sassicaia,
Ornellaia, and Antinori
despite its outstanding wines.
