TASTING NOTES

Production

The grapes for this Toscana Colore are selected from the four finest vineyards: Lamole, Vincigliata, Olmo and Siena. Each vineyard is harvested up to eight times, so as to gather all the grapes at the right stage of phenolic ripeness. After an initial selection in the vineyard, the grapes are selected again in the cellar. Once destemming and crushing are complete, the grapes are transferred to open barriques for fermentation, taking care to keep each plot separate. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, driven by indigenous yeasts, and lasts for around two weeks, followed by a further week of maceration on the skins, during which 6–8 manual punch-downs are carried out each day. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to barriques, where malolactic fermentation takes place. Each plot is aged separately for almost 20 months before the final blend is decided.

Organoleptic Characteristics

In the glass, it presents a deep, impenetrable red colour. The nose reveals deep notes of fruit preserved in alcohol, cassis and blackcurrant with a hint of black cherry.

Occasion and Pairing

Extremely versatile and easy to pair with food, Colore di Bibi Graetz goes divinely with meat-based dishes.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Bibi Graetz

Name: Toscana Colore
Brand: Signorvino
SKU: VFR02087 2021750
Price: 319.9 EUR

Born into a family of artists, after his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Bibi Graetz took over the family vineyards around the castle of Vincigliata in the hills of Florence in 2000 and from a few barriques of Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo his most iconic wines were born: Testamatta and Colore. The artist's background is clearly evident in the bottles where the labels are pictures painted by Bibi. Vineyards well over 50 years old and at altitude, the choice of indigenous vines and a natural approach in the winery are the founding elements of Bibi's vision of organic and sustainable viticulture. In 2019, Bibi Graetz's winery moved to the central square of Fiesole, inside Villa Aurora, a splendid early 19th-century hotel on the hill overlooking Florence and converted into a winery to house Testamatta and Colore, as well as Bibi and his family. The whites are produced on the Giglio Island with old vineyards overlooking the sea. Name and address of producer/distributor: Piazza Mino da Fiesole, 37, 50014 Fiesole (FI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
