Note di degustazione
Canaiolo, Colorino. Graetz says no Sangiovese was used in the blend. A very fine vintage in Tuscany – substantially superior to the same year in Bordeaux or Burgundy. The summer was warm, but not hot. In October temperatures soared, encouraging a later harvest with fully ripe grapes and complex aromatics. Distinctly raisined on the nose, soft on the palate and lacking a little bit of lift. Still drinking well, this seems to be waning a little – now’s probably the time to be drinking up. (AH)

There are only 900 bottles of the 2004 Colore, a blend of 70% Canaiolo, and 30% Colorino. It is a soft, supple effort endowed with plush dark cherry fruit and an accessible personality, with awesome elegance and notable overall balance. The Colore is a selection made from the estate's three best barrels, two of the Canaiolo and one of the Colorino. It is another stunning wine from Bibi Graetz.
