Note di degustazione
The 2022 Testamatta arrests your attention as it slowly evolves with a bouquet of dried flowers, worn leather, tobacco and dried cherries. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness and silky smooth textures as a core of juicy acidity adds energy and ripe red fruits saturate. A coating of fine tannins flexes upon the palate as the 2022 finishes with outstanding length and a licorice tinge, structured for a balanced evolution. Beautiful.

100% Sangiovese from the Vincigliata, Olmo, Londa, Lamole, Montefili and Siena vineyards. Spontaneous fermentation in open barriques for the small parcels and in 50-hl oak casks and stainless steel for the larger plots with three punchdowns daily. After the alcoholic fermentation had finished, the wine was racked off into old barriques and 50-hl casks where it went through malolactic conversion. The wine was aged in casks for 18 months before bottling. Lustrous crimson. More refined and a little more open and ready than the Colore. Lifted sour cherry and hints of blood orange with a suggestion of cigar box. Supple and polished cherry and raspberry fruit. Lots of concentration and at the same time refined and with a suggestion of oak. A fantastic core of youthful, firm tannins muscling their way in on the finish. Can be approached now but I would give this a couple more years to let it shed its youthful fruit sweetness. (WS)
With fruit picked at 400 meters in elevation, the Bibi Graetz 2022 Testamatta shows primary intensity and good tension with red fruits and cherry. There is a little more concentration here and more tannic bite, and the wine will need more time to resolve and find balance. All of Bibi's wines are made at his new winery located in a former hotel off the main square in Fiesole, Tuscany.
