Bibi Graetz has long been tinkering with his formula for this wine, and this vintage represents a new chapter. The 2020 Testamatta is a blend of Sangiovese from old and new vines, with a priority on cooler growing conditions (and even a few northern exposures). In the wake of climate change, and in the pursuit of elegance, Bibi is changing his approach. He also has a new vineyard property near Fiesole, and the introduction of these grapes (from a breezy, high-elevation site) are what gives Testamatta its beautiful clarity, sharpness and lifted bouquet. The new Fiesole fruit makes up about 30% to 35% of this wine. The results are vibrant, transparent and fresh both in terms of acidity and aromatic intensity. This is a wine in transformation and a wine to watch

Beautiful, fresh aromas of sour cherries, orange peel and lemon bush. Medium-bodied with firm, racy acidity and ultra-fine tannins that add brightness and energy to the wine. This is definitely following the new wave of crunchy, vivid Tuscany sangioveses, which emphasize drinkability and transparency. Lighter than past vintages. Drink now or hold.

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.
