Fabulous aromas of strawberries, orange zest and orange blossom. So pure on the nose. Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with intense linear tannins that are ultra-fine in texture. It's fresh and salty with a brightness and focus. Minerally and crisp. pH is 3.4 highlighting the strength of the acidity. Crunchy. Salty. So delicious now but this will age incredibly well.

The 2021 Testamatta is Sangiovese sourced from various hilltop vineyards spanning different cool microclimates. The ideal is to underline the transparency and fragility of the variety. Fruit from the Olmo Vineyard plays a big role and “gives a strong imprint to this wine,” Bibi says. Testamatta offers fresh aromas of violet, rose, forest green and candied orange peel. Bibi says 2021 was generally warmer than 2020, but all three vintages—2020, 2021 and 2022—are considered hot. He is upbeat regarding 2023 thanks to all the rain. Testamatta shows an earthy note that gives this wine (with 120,000 bottles made) a slightly more accessible personality. The tannins are lightly managed, and the oak framing is down to an elegant minimum. Bibi buys 1% new oak each year, and his oldest barrels date back to 2003. He does not pull leaves, and he employs methods that do not concentrate his fruit so he can safeguard the typicity of Sangiovese. Winemaking is as natural as possible. The beautiful results are classic and bright. He strives to keep alcohol contents below 13%<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.
