Rezensionen & Bewertungen
98 James Suckling
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
Bibi Graetz ist in erster Linie Künstler und Absolvent der Academia dell’Arte in Florenz, der in den späten 1990er-Jahren den Wein für sich entdeckte und seitdem zu einem der kreativsten Winzer der Toskana wurde. Der in Italien geborene und aufgewachsene Graetz, der nie eine formale Weinausbildung genossen hat, produziert seine Weine am Familiensitz in Fiesole, einer Burg namens Castello di Vincigliata. Schon früh verlegte er sich auf den Anbau einheimischer toskanischer Sorten, vorwiegend Sangiovese, aber auch Colorino und Canaiolo und sehr geringe Mengen Malvasia Nera und Moscato Nero. Die Früchte stammen von 30 bis 60 Jahre alten Reben in der Region Chianti Classico, einschließlich der Maremma, der Insel Giglio und Montalcino. Die Vinifikation erfolgt in offenen Fermentern, und die Resultate sind von einem tintenschwarzen Rot und offenbaren eine spektakuläre Intensität und Genialität. Das Flaggschiff Testamatta (was soviel heißt wie „Hitzkopf“) ist ein kraftstrotzender Roter aus ausschließlich alten Sangiovese, mit Noten von Kirsche und Tabak. Eine weitere Besonderheit dieser Weine sind ihre Etiketten, die Graetz, von der toskanischen Sonne inspiriert, alle selber entwirft. Die Weine dieses von der Kunst geküssten Kultwinzers werden mit jedem Jahrgang noch besser und sind hochgradig sammelwürdige Toskaner.
