The subtlety and perfumed nature of this wine is enchanting, offering flowers, orange peel and cherries. Wonderful ripe strawberries, too. Full-bodied, but not over the top, with tannins that are polished and run the length of the wine. It’s tight, but gives you every indication of a terrific wine. You want to drink it now, and you probably should do, because it’s so alluring. Yet it will age beautifully as well. Drink or hold.

The Bibi Graetz 2020 Colore is a pure expression of Sangiovese all sourced from old vines that are carefully selected in various parts of Tuscany. Much of the fruit comes from a high elevation and cool site in Lamole, or from 70-year-old vines in Bagno a Ripoli or Vincigliata near Fiesole. A small percentage of old vines in Olmo is also used. Bibi has a preference for old vines, and you can taste the lovely depth and complexity that comes through in the Colore. Compared to his other wine Testamatta, this wine has seen fewer stylistic changes over the years, and the goal has always been elegance and finesse. Colore boasts a pretty luminous quality with dark fruit aromas and wild berry. There are hints of licorice and mint as well. Mineral flavors and bright acidity are what set Colore apart.<br/><br/>

Bibi Graetz
D'abord artiste, diplômé de l'Academia dell'Arte de Florence, Bibi Graetz a commencé à faire du vin à la fin des années 1990 pour devenir ensuite l'un des vignerons les plus inspirés de la Toscane. Graetz est né et a grandi en Italie mais n’a suivi aucune formation officielle avant de se lancer dans la production de vin dans sa maison familiale de Fiesole, le château Castello di Vincigliata. Très tôt, il a décidé de privilégier les cépages typiques de la Toscane, notamment le sangiovese, mais aussi le colorino et le canaiolo, ainsi que quelques petites parcelles de malvasia nera et de moscato nero. Les raisins proviennent de vieilles vignes (de 30 à 60 ans) cultivées dans la région du Chianti Classico, englobant la Maremme, l'île de Giglio et Montalcino. La vinification s'effectue dans des cuves ouvertes, produisant des vins à la robe rouge-encre noir sidérante d'intensité. La cuvée phare, la Testamatta, qui se traduit grosso modo par « Tête Brûlée », est un 100% sangiovese issu de vieilles vignes qui offre une puissance rehaussée de notes de cerise et de tabac. Autre particularité du domaine : toutes ses étiquettes sont dessinées par Graetz lui-même, puisant son inspiration dans le soleil toscan. Artiste reconverti en vigneron culte, Graetz frise l’excellence à chaque millésime et ses vins sont particulièrement recherchés par les amateurs de la Toscane.
