A stunning wine. This is the best Testamatta ever made. Fascinating aromas of red fruits, tea, bark and wet soil as well as fresh leather. Full body, silky tannins and a juicy finish. I love the tension and texture of this great red. So gorgeous to taste now but better in 2021.

Having had the privilege of tasting 5 or 6 vintages of this Tuscan superstar from Bibi Graetz, we have to agree, this is clearly the best we've tasted! It’s at a new level of savory intensity. AND THE PRICE! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US...PLEASE! We’re buying too much ourselves!! How often do you find 99-pointers priced like this?
This is magical juice - the texture alone is so fine it sends shivers up the spine. The flavor is as distinctive as Bibi’s labels (he paints them by the way), exploding with sour cherry, minerally red fruits, silky, savory tannins, subtle Asian spices and all manner of secondary hints, like tangerine, sweet herb and English tea, oh MAN!!
About the Producer
"Testa-Matta" in Italy is someone with a strong personality, a distinctive style and positive attitude and creativity. No other name could describe better Bibi Graetz flagship wine. A Super Tuscan made with 100% Sangiovese from old vines, this wine is the result of the combination of tradition and creativity, elevating the idea of Tuscan Sangiovese and bringing the word "Supertuscan" to the next level. From a medieval castle, Castello di Vincigliata, acquired by his parents over 60 years ago, winemaker Bibi Graetz crafts his wines on a hillside overlooking the great city of Florence. Beginning initially with only a small, 5-acre vineyard on this hillside in Fiesole, in little under two decades, Bibi has become one of Italy's most ingenious winemakers adding "cult winemaker" in addition to "talented abstract artist" to his dossier.
