"Testamatta” – “crazy-head” in Italian - is the best word to describe Bibi Graetz: a positive, creative and passionate person.Testamatta wine expresses the purity, minerality and transparency of Sangiovese from the vines of 35 – 50 years old on the top of the hills characterized by soils rich of stones. Grapes are selected and sourced from the best 5 vineyards of the winery: Vincigliata, Londa, Lamole, Montefili and Siena. Each parcel is aged separately for almost 20 months in old barriques and barrels.
Serve at 16-18 °C with red meats.
Very attractive combination of dried fruit and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too. Full-bodied and very refined, yet intense, with plush, velvety tannins that are wonderfully integrated and intertwined with the fruit. Ripe center palate. Tight at the end, suggesting the need for some serious bottle age. Very structured. Try after 2025.
The 20th anniversary bottling of Testamatta made, from the 2019 vintage, in brand new winemaking facilities in Florence. This just shines from the moment it’s poured. Layered and complex this is a gem of a wine filled with cherry, raspberry, damson and caramel notes alongside a savoury edge that makes it so moreish. Tannins that support but don't overwhelm give a nice overall weight to the palate while the flavous linger on the long finish. Made from old vines on stony soils on the Tuscan hilltops. Grapes are selected and sourced from the best five vineyards, which are divided into parcels and harvested up to eight times. Fermentation is in open-top barriques for the smaller parcels and in barrels or stainless steel for the larger ones without any temperature controls. Maceration for 7-10 days then moved into old barriques for 20 months.
The Bibi Graetz winery was founded in 2000 on the hill of Fiesole, overlooking Florence, where Bibi grew up and felt completely in love and made of it his life.Bibi was fascinated by old vineyards, by their finesse, elegance, and the purity of the fruits they can produce. Today, the Bibi Graetz estate has assembled one of the largest collections of old vineyards in Tuscany.
