About this wine
Bibi Graetz Testamatta, Toscana IGT
Bibi Graetz is a Tuscan native raised as an artist. Since the 90s, he has poured his art into character-filled wines out of the storybook village of Fiesole perched in scenic decadence five kilometres from Florence. Considered a cult label, the wines of Bibi Graetz are abundant in authentic Tuscan soul. The Testamatta (‘hothead’) rosso is pure and vibrant 100% Sangiovese.
Described by the label as a textbook ‘Supertuscan’, it is at once fresh and ripe, abundantly bodied and energetic. Intense with lush tannins, its fruit expression is typically Tuscan with that Bibi flair that so enchants his advocates. Made from fruit grown on 35 to 50 year old vines, followed by natural fermentation in open top barrels and 20 months of ageing, it is a pure and mineral taste of Tuscany.

James Suckling
Very aromatic and exciting with citrus rind, plums, cedar and rose petals. Full body, fine and silky tannins and a long and beautiful finish. Love the persistence and intensity. Salty undertone at the end. Needs two to three years to open.

Expert Review
Monica Larner
Bibi Graetz applies his unique winemaking philosophy to a can-do-no-wrong vintage. The 2013 Testamatta (100% Sangiovese) opens to a deep and dark ruby color and smoky aromas of cigar ash, crushed stone, licorice, grilled herb and dried cassis. Make no mistake: This is one of the most original and off-the-radar expressions of Sangiovese you will ever taste. There is managed rusticity here that matches the imperfection and the undeniable beauty of the artwork that graces its label. Those bright blue and yellow brush strokes offer major contrast, yet together they reach harmony. That seems to be the overriding message of this wine that is otherwise loaded with personality and charm.
