Bibi Graetz S.R.L. Piazza Mino, 37 50014 Fiesole (FI)
From the hills of Fiesole, in the green heart of Tuscany, comes Testamatta. Bianco IGT produced by Bibi Graetz, a wine that well represents the passion and dedication of an unconventional winemaker. Ansonica, a white grape variety indigenous to Tuscany, has compact clusters and thick skins that give Testamatta an intense straw yellow colour with golden highlights. On the nose, a complex, enveloping bouquet with notes of citrus fruits and white flowers intertwine with hints of aromatic herbs, Mediterranean scrub and vanilla. In the mouth, it conquers with its freshness and minerality. A savoury and mineral sip, with a long, lingering finish reminiscent of the sea breeze. The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in crates to the winery. Here they are destemmed and gently crushed before being sent to fermentation, which in this case takes place partly in steel vats for 6-7 days and partly in barriques. This gives the wine complexity and harmony. A versatile wine, it goes well with raw fish hors d'oeuvres, shellfish starters and baked fish. Also excellent with fresh cheeses and grilled vegetables.
Bibi Graetz's oenological adventure was born in the heart of Tuscany. A perfect marriage between art and wine that has given birth 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.
