The Maserati Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato offers a striking new collaboration that blends Italian automotive mastery with winemaking heritage. This exclusive model emerged from the Italian luxury automaker’s Fuoriserie personalization program, in partnership with the esteemed winemaking house Marchesi Antinori and its renowned Il Bruciato wine.
The result is a vehicle that honors Italian craftsmanship, evoking the terroir of Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, while delivering our signature performance and elegance here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis.
At Maserati, the project is described as “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.” The synergy between winemaking and automotive design becomes tangible: just as fine wine reflects the land from which it comes, this special-edition Grecale is engineered to reflect refined Italian style, detail and passion.
Design & Visual Identity
The exterior distinguishes itself in a bespoke finish known as “Alchimia Scarlatta,” a deep red paint with Chromaflair pigment that shifts between burgundy, copper-gold and dark raspberry tones depending on the light. Visual cues continue with 21-inch Pegaso Forgiati or Crio Fuoriserie wheels, gloss-black accents, and blacked-out brake calipers bearing the Fuoriserie signature. Acceptance of this unusual but bold aesthetic shows how a luxury vehicle can become a moving work of art.
Inside, the cabin features two-tone leather upholstery in tan and dark red hues, intricate “cannelloni” ribbing on the seats, contrasting stitching and a subtle Trident emblem on the headrests. A 14-speaker Sonus Faber audio system adds a sensory dimension that compliments the sight-lines and finishes. The special edition conveys not just performance, but premium ambience.
Performance & Emotion
While technical specifications may mirror other models in the Grecale line, its emotional appeal and craftsmanship sets this edition apart. Owner impressions of the Grecale platform in general are glowing. One customer shared:
“The steering is precise and the chassis tightly tuned. The car feels very agile and it’s fun to drive.” Grecale Forum
Another praised the audio system:
“The 3D-sound creates an incredible sound stage … I can really highly recommend it.” Grecale Forum
Those kinds of comments underline that this vehicle isn’t simply about statistics; it’s about the whole experience. At a St. Louis dealership, where buyers often seek a luxurious daily driver and weekend escape vehicle in one, that combination resonates strongly.
Appeal & Exclusivity
Collaborations between automotive houses and other luxury sectors, such as wines, watches or fashion, often signify a desire to elevate the vehicle beyond transportation into a lifestyle statement. In this case, Maserati’s tribute to Il Bruciato wine captures that spirit. As one press article noted:
“The Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato is a limited edition, or as Maserati prefers to call it, ‘a series of one-offs.’” Carscoops
While production numbers and pricing remain undisclosed, the special edition is clearly tailored for those seeking rarity, artisanal finishes and a connection to Italian culture, all wrapped within a performance SUV body.
Why It Works for St. Louis Buyers
In a region like Greater St. Louis, where drivers value a blend of urban refinement and suburban adaptability, this Grecale edition hits multiple notes. The styling turns heads in the Central West End or Clayton, while the SUV form provides practicality for daily drives, lane changes and family logistics. It speaks both to enthusiasts who appreciate bold design and to buyers who desire a luxury car with a distinct story behind it.
Customer reviews of the standard Grecale reinforce its appeal. One user commented:
“I’ve had a lot of cars from all the usual luxury manufacturers, and no other car has held my attention and interest as this Grecale.” Grecale Forum
That sense of emotional investment matters, particularly when choosing a luxury vehicle that likely becomes a daily companion.
Craftsmanship & Storytelling
The link to Marchesi Antinori and the terroir of Bolgheri gives the Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato storytelling depth. At Maserati, the design team described the project as echoing the “elegant dynamism of the House of the Trident” and “the decisive character of Il Bruciato wine.” The craftsmanship is visible in the rich paint, bespoke leather, audio system and engineering detail.
For a buyer accustomed to fine distinctions, between leather hides, wheel finishes or interior ambient lighting, these subtle touches matter.
Summary
For luxury buyers in the St. Louis area seeking a vehicle with both performance and personality, the Maserati Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato stands out. Its SUV silhouette provides versatility while its Italian-wine-inspired design ensures exclusivity. It is luxury tailored with precision, marrying heritage and horsepower in one striking package.
The vehicle demonstrates how Maserati continues to evolve, not just with raw performance, but with rich cultural collaborations, premium materials and distinctive styling that resonate with discerning drivers. Whether navigating urban streets or cruising across the Midwest, the experience is elevated.
For those ready to explore the intersection of Italian craftsmanship and modern driving, a visit to our Jim Butler showroom will reveal how this special-edition model brings the essence of Tuscany into daily life.
