Maserati and Marchesi Antinori unveil Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato, an emblem of Italian know-how, the result of the tailor-made experience of the Maserati Fuoriserie personalisation programme.

This limited series of cars brings together two icons of Italian know-how through the profound bond between the passion for high-tech engineering and the art of viticulture. A tribute to Italy, to the region, to the authentic beauty of Bolgheri – a gem on the Tuscan coast – and to one of its most iconic labels: Il Bruciato. Not just a wine, it is personality, an intense and self-assured spirit.

Designed and created in collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, one of the oldest and most prestigious wine-making families in the world, Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato symbolises the encounter between the elegant dynamism of the House of the Trident and the decisive character of Il Bruciato wine, produced in the heart of Bolgheri.

Car features

From the body colour onwards, the design is inspired by nature and the grape harvest season. The bodywork comes in the shade Alchimia Scarlatta, reminiscent of the intense red of the wine in motion in a glass, taking on a thousand different hues and shining depending on how it reflects the light. To create this exclusive shade, an extremely special pigment known as Chromaflair, was used, to create a very clear colour variation. The paint has a burgundy base with two top notes: one coppery gold and the other dark raspberry, to create a deep nuance. As a result, from different perspectives the car almost seems to be painted different colours.

Completing the exterior are Pegaso Forgiati or Crio Fuoriserie 21″ wheels, both with oversized rims at the rear for a more muscular aesthetic and better grip, and Gloss Black finish (as an optional extra). The brake callipers are black, all topped off with the Fuoriserie logo, painted in the same shade on the front mudguard.

The interiors are in Tan/Dark Red Leather with tone-on-tone stitching and dedicated “cannelloni” (ribbed weave) visuals, with the headrest embellished with the Trident logo in Dark Red.
Every detail in the cabin is designed to transform the journey into a sensory experience, also made possible by the 14-speaker Sonus faber premium audio system and the panoramic sunroof.
A harmonious, all-encompassing sensation of pleasure on board, like a glass of wine that tells the story of the land from which it comes.

A tribute to Italian know-how

The stylistic details of this special edition are reminiscent of a place on the Tuscany coast, Bolgheri, where the wind dances between the vines and time is measured in scents, light and silences. This is the home of Il Bruciato, created in 2002: a wine with a potent, harmonious character, ready to share in the spirit of the Maserati Grecale SUV.

The quote “Driving the essence of Italian living” encapsulates the soul of Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato: not just a car but a manifesto of Italian know-how, an invitation to enjoy life with elegance, taste and passion. A journey that begins in the heart of Tuscany and arrives wherever there is a desire for beauty.

Giovanni Perosino, Maserati Chief Marketing and Communication Officer

“Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato is the upshot of an exclusive project that has revolved around Maserati’s essence as the epitome of Italian luxury around the world. Produced for the few, almost tailor-made, inspired by tradition, innovation and artisanship 100% made in Italy. An expression of the Maserati Fuoriserie personalisation programme, for our customers to create the car of their dreams: one-offs with the ability to combine unmistakable design, extraordinary performance, prestigious materials and the most extreme and refined creativity. Just as Maserati finds its roots in the spirit of granturismo, this special version of the Grecale is a tribute to Italian know-how, where every curve tells a story and every journey becomes an experience”.

Renzo Cotarella, Marchesi Antinori CEO

“Il Bruciato was first produced in 2002: a complex year, marked by challenges and heavy rain. A modern and accessible new wine was created following this difficult period: an invitation to approach and experience a great wine.

As with a great car, what matters is not only technical perfection but the ability to make the everyday exceptional, combining identity, elegance and pleasure. The Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato is a tribute to this essence and to the Bolgheri area”.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
