Maserati is launching a new series of one-offs called the Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato, and the first creation is the wine-colored crossover you see here. Developed in collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, one of the oldest and most prestigious wine-making families in the world, the specially designed Grecale is inspired by the winemaker’s Il Bruciato label, a wine produced in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast. But while the colors and finishes may be intoxicating, the powertrain is not as full-bodied as one might expect of a series of one-offs. Still, this is about drawing attention on the motorway, not necessarily asserting dominance on it.
Exquisite Paint That Mimics Swirled Wine
The color-shifting paint applied to this Grecale is made possible with Chromaflair pigmentation and is called Alchimi Scarlatta. As the images show, changing light and angles give this finish differing hues from dark raspberry to coppery gold, meant to call to mind the sorts of shades you’d see when swirling a red wine in a glass. The wheels, either Pergaso Forgiati or Crio Fuoriserie 21-inch items, are painted Gloss Black, as are the calipers, which sport a Fuoriserie logo – anything brighter may have detracted from the fabulous paint.

Inside, things are just as dramatic with Tan/Dark Red leather upholstery and ribbing on the seats that is intended to call canneloni to mind, and the headrests get a Trident logo in Dark Red. These details are easy to see thanks to a panoramic sunroof, and a 14-speaker Sonus Faber sound system completes the enhancement of the interior. But other areas of the special edition are less premium, specifically the drivetrain.
A High-End Creation With An Entry-Level Engine
Take a peek at the front fenders and you’ll find Modena badging, which means no more than a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid, producing 325 horsepower. It’s the same aging engine you get in the likes of the Dodge Hornet and Jeep Wrangler, and for something celebrating Italian winemaking passion, perhaps the more robust Nettuno V6 might have been more appropriate. Whatever – the car looks good, and it sounds like Maserati has more one-offs in the pipeline, which will hopefully be more interesting. The automaker has not revealed what this special model would cost, but with a regular Grecale Modena starting at $77,900 for the 2025 model year, it’s safe to assume that the special paint and upholstery would bring the asking price close to (or even beyond) six figures.
