A pronounced salinity runs through the 2024 Grattamacco Bianco from Bolgheri, a 100% Vermentino fermented and aged 40% in French oak and 60% in stainless steel, then rested on its lees before bottling. The glowing pale lemon core fades to a straw rim, and the nose offers dried lime zest, underripe nectarine, white button mushroom, and dried hay. The palate feels riper than the aromatics suggest, adding yellow pear and a creamy texture. It is round and plush, moving from medium toward full body before a sea-spray finish.
