“Old-vine magic”- The American wine critic James Suckling waxes lyrical when he writes about the 2019 Bibi Graetz Colore. And Suckling, who awards 99 points (!) for this single-varietal Sangiovese from Tuscany, is not alone in his rhapsodizing. Ninety-six points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points in Falstaff: Italian winemaking has indisputably reached a pinnacle with the Bibi Graetz Colore 2019.

The red wine's bouquet seduces you with its fascinating complexity and intensity: notes of blackberries, raspberries, cherries, cassis, and dried rose petals, complemented by nuances of coriander and balsamic herbs. On the palate, the ruby Sangiovese is full-bodied and compact, with silky-soft tannins that could not be more harmoniously integrated. It has an impressive structure and length. Suckling writes, “So fine, yet so powerful. This is an incredible combination of fruit and structure. Old-vine magic. Old-vine magic.”

Bibi Graetz himself writes, “Monumental, there is no better word to describe this vintage. Roundness in every single aspect of the wine: elegance, freshness and great acidity that gives very fine layers surprisingly detectable on the nose and at the first sip.”

The effort behind this creation was extraordinary: the grapes came from three sites in Tuscany (Lamole, Vincigliata and Siena) with vines from the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The individual sites were harvested up to eight times in order to harvest grapes with the perfect degree of ripeness. This was followed by a further sorting of the grapes in the winery.

The wines of the individual growing areas were vinified separately. The precise composition of the blend was decided only after the Sangiovese creations from the individual sites had matured in barriques for 20 months. Only the best barrels of the entire production were included in the Colore.

Bibi Graetz is celebrating his 20th anniversary as a winemaker with the Colore 2019, and the design of the bottle is accordingly distinctive. This Sangiovese is one of the outstanding highlights bearing witness to the creative power of Bibi Gräetz. Happy are those who can call a bottle their own. Suckling’s recommendation: “Drink after 2026.”

Product recommendation

Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2019

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awards 94 points and high praise to the Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2019 as “a pure expression of Sangiovese” in its accolade to this fantastic Tuscan red wine, which is also celebrated by other wine critics around the globe. James Suckling awards it 97 points, followed by Falstaff with 95. Connoisseurs can look forward to a fascinatingly complex and intense bouquet. Suckling writes of a “very attractive combination of dried fruit and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too.” The Wine Advocate detects “perfumed blue flower, candied orange peel, wet earth and plummy black fruit.” On the palate, the Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2019 is full-bodied, simultaneously powerful and elegant. The velvety tannins are wonderfully integrated and intertwined with the intense fruit, resulting in an exceptional taste experience. Moreover, according to the Wine Advocate, “a strong chalky mineral signature” characterises the looong finish. Bibi Graetz himself wrote, “Elegance, that is the word that describes Testamatta 2019,” adding that “Testamatta 2019 is perfectly balanced with deep layers that show incredible complexity."The grapes for the single-varietal Sangiovese come from the five best vineyards of the Testamatta estate in Tuscany: Vincigliata, Londa, Lamole, Montefili and Siena. The vines are up to 80 years old. The staff involved in producing the Bibi Graetz Testamatta undertake up to eight (!) harvesting phases. Only grapes of optimal ripeness are used in this shimmering, deep ruby red wine. The wines from the individual vineyards were aged in oak casks for 20 months. Graetz wrote, “The 20th anniversary of Testamatta is a real milestone, the pinnacle of quality that I have been looking for in my Sangiovese since the first vintage in 2000.” Those who open a bottle of the Testamatta 2019 are fortunate to be able to share in it.
