Note di degustazione
The 2008 Grilli del Testamatta offers up plump, juicy red fruit and sweet spices from French oak in a supple, accessible style best suited to near-term enjoyment. In 2008 Graetz used the best fruit he was able to salvage from his top vineyard to strengthen this entry-level effort, but even that wasn't enough to fully overcome the challenges of a very hard growing season.

The 2008 Grilli del Testamatta offers up plump, juicy red fruit and sweet spices from French oak in a supple, accessible style best suited to near-term enjoyment. In 2008 Graetz used the best fruit he was able to salvage from his top vineyard to strengthen this entry-level effort, but even that wasn’t enough to fully overcome the challenges of a very hard growing season. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. Nature was not kind to Bibi Graetz in 2008. Hail caused significant damage in the main Testamatta vineyard, so Graetz passed on bottling his flagship wine, a shame since Testamatta has established itself as one of the most exciting wines in Italy.

Informazioni sul produttore
Con sede appena fuori Firenze, Bibi Graetz è un anticonformista nel panorama vinicolo toscano. Lavorando con vecchi vigneti di uve autoctone del Chianti, produce vini intensi classificati come IGT Toscana, che non rientrano né nel gruppo dei Super Tuscan né in quello dei Chianti.
