Bibi Graetz S.R.L. Piazza Mino, 37 50014 Fiesole (FI)
A fine, pure Sangiovese. Not the usual. But a little gem by Bibi Graetz. But let us proceed with order. We are in the heart of Tuscany, in the hills surrounding Fiesole, not too far from Florence. This is where Soffocone, Rosso Toscana IGT, was born. Power and elegance of Sangiovese in a modern and refined guise. Vineyards located at an altitude of about 400 metres, on marl-rich soils rich in skeleton. Fermentation takes place in large 30-hectolitre oak vats with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control. This traditional method enhances the primary characteristics of Sangiovese and produces a complex and structured wine. Its intense ruby red colour prepares for a bouquet of complex and enveloping aromas, ranging from ripe red fruits and sweet spices to tobacco and vanilla. In the mouth, it is fresh and well-structured, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish. A meditation wine, it requires time and attention to be fully appreciated. On the table it goes well with red meats, game and mature cheeses. Very enjoyable with a board of Tuscan cheeses.
Bibi Graetz's oenological adventure was born in the heart of Tuscany. A perfect marriage between art and wine that has given life to a winery that has quickly become an absolute reference point on the Italian and international scene. Bibi Graetz, the son of artists and raised in a creative environment, graduated from the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence. However, he soon realised that his true passion was wine. In 2000, he decided to take over the family vineyards in the Colli Fiorentini, in Vincigliata. Here, he began to work and experiment with the native grape varieties of the area: Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Here, a unique terroir, characterised by high altitudes and mineral-rich soils, offer an ideal habitat for growing high-quality grapes. Bibi Graetz's philosophy is based on three fundamental cornerstones: the use of indigenous varieties, the exploitation of high altitudes and respect for old vines. His wines are the result of meticulous and passionate work, while the labels are world-famous for their originality and beauty. Created by internationally renowned artists, they are the perfect dress for wines with a unique and memorable personality.
