Wine from Tuscany

Tuscany is Italy’s famous wine-growing area: it is the home of Chianti and offers practically endless diversity. Super Tuscans such as Sassicaia, Tignanello or Ornellaia are icons of the world of wine.

Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore 2019

The Maremma is a characterful landscape in central Italy, which is also known for its excellent wines. Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore from Tenuta Argentiera has a bright ruby red color with violet hues. On the palate, notes of licorice and black currants. This generous, complex wine - consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc - is rich in tannins. It has a wonderful balance with a pleasant acidity. The finish is long lasting - with a remarkable freshness and minerality.The harvested grapes come from the best vineyards of the estate. The grapes were vinified separately; fermentation and maceration took about 25 to 30 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then transferred to 225-liter French oak barriques, where its malolactic fermentation was completetd. The further maturation was about 14 months in oak barrels and then at least another 12 months on the bottle.Tenuta Argentiera is located on the picturesque coast of the Northern Maremma, about 100 km southwest of Florence.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2016

This Super Tuscan is a world-class ambassador for Tuscan viticulture in every respect. Not only does the quality of the Bibi Graetz Colore 2016 stand out and will captivate wine lovers. What's more, the grapes for this phenomenal composition come from three of Tuscany's defining growing regions: Lamole in Chianti Classico, Vincigliata near Florence and Siena in the south. The pinnacle of Tuscan winemaking, united in one wine: Bibi Graetz Colore 2016.This Italian red wine is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and 10% Colorino. The Colore sparkles ruby red with a garnet hue in the glass. The bouquet is fascinatingly complex. Notes of "pure summer cherry" dominate at the beginning, writes Monica Larner in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, awarding the Bibi Graetz Colore 2016 a whopping 96+ points. Over time, nuances of granite and dried blue flowers emerge. Notes of plums, blackberries and strawberries also enrich the bouquet. Everything is finely underpinned by a stimulating spiciness (rosemary, sage, but also cinnamon and a hint of leather and tobacco).On the palate, Bibi Graetz's Super Tuscan is dry, clear and perfectly smooth. "Full-bodied, very dense and polished, with a dense and powerful palate that opens up and grows while remaining agile and beautiful," says James Suckling, whose 98 points make it clear that few wines in the world come close to this quality. "This vintage offers an ideal dose of structure paired with freshness," says Monica Larner."After the great 2015 vintage, I couldn't believe that the quality of 2016 was even better," writes Bibi Graetz. As described, the grapes come from three vineyards in Tuscany, which were meticulously harvested (up to eight times!). In this way, the very best grape material was obtained, which forms the basis for the Colore 2016. The batches from the individual vineyards matured separately in oak for almost three years before the final blend was composed. A masterpiece of Italian viticulture.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2018

Wie schon beim Testamatta stammen die Trauben von Reben in einem Alter von 80 bis 135 Jahren, was sicherlich besonders ist. Diese Basis schafft einen Wein, der nicht nur sehr konzentriert und kraftvoll, sondern gleichermaßen homogen, rund und elegant ist. Diese Balance zu kreieren erstaunt doch sehr. Nachdem Einschenken ins Glas (wir hatten den Wein 2 Stunden vorher dekantiert) ein intensives Aroma von Kirschen und Himbeeren in der Nase. Gefolgt von Kräuternoten und dem Duft einer Blumenwiese. Durch eine deutliche Säure entsteht ein frisches und subtiles Bouquet. Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Bibi Grätz Colore 2018 komplex und kraftvoll mit feiner Raffinesse. Im Finish konzentriertes Lakritz und sogar etwas Tabak. Sichern Sie sich ein paar Flaschen von den nur 9000 produzierten Exemplaren dieses wunderbaren Weins. Der Wein wird durch ein paar weitere Jahre Flaschenreife sicher noch an Trinkfreude zunehmen. So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass unter anderem James Suckling 99 von 100 Punkten, Robert Parker und das Decanter Magazin je 97 von 100 möglichen Punkten vergeben

Bibi Graetz Colore 2019

“Old-vine magic”- The American wine critic James Suckling waxes lyrical when he writes about the 2019 Bibi Graetz Colore. And Suckling, who awards 99 points (!) for this single-varietal Sangiovese from Tuscany, is not alone in his rhapsodizing. Ninety-six points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points in Falstaff: Italian winemaking has indisputably reached a pinnacle with the Bibi Graetz Colore 2019. The red wine's bouquet seduces you with its fascinating complexity and intensity: notes of blackberries, raspberries, cherries, cassis, and dried rose petals, complemented by nuances of coriander and balsamic herbs. On the palate, the ruby Sangiovese is full-bodied and compact, with silky-soft tannins that could not be more harmoniously integrated. It has an impressive structure and length. Suckling writes, “So fine, yet so powerful. This is an incredible combination of fruit and structure. Old-vine magic. Old-vine magic.”Bibi Graetz himself writes, “Monumental, there is no better word to describe this vintage. Roundness in every single aspect of the wine: elegance, freshness and great acidity that gives very fine layers surprisingly detectable on the nose and at the first sip.”The effort behind this creation was extraordinary: the grapes came from three sites in Tuscany (Lamole, Vincigliata and Siena) with vines from the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The individual sites were harvested up to eight times in order to harvest grapes with the perfect degree of ripeness. This was followed by a further sorting of the grapes in the winery. The wines of the individual growing areas were vinified separately. The precise composition of the blend was decided only after the Sangiovese creations from the individual sites had matured in barriques for 20 months. Only the best barrels of the entire production were included in the Colore.Bibi Graetz is celebrating his 20th anniversary as a winemaker with the Colore 2019, and the design of the bottle is accordingly distinctive. This Sangiovese is one of the outstanding highlights bearing witness to the creative power of Bibi Gräetz. Happy are those who can call a bottle their own. Suckling’s recommendation: “Drink after 2026.”

Bibi Graetz Colore 2020

"You'll want to drink it now, and you probably should because it's so seductive." When US wine critics write about the Bibi Graetz Colore 2020, you can literally feel their enthusiasm, which they also express with 98 points for this Super Tuscan. Bibi Graetz himself is not stingy with superlatives: "I think that this year we have made the best Colore we have ever produced."The pure Sangiovese from Tuscany comes from ancient vines whose grapes have an unmistakable aromatic depth. Monica Larner awarded the world-class Italian red wine 96 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. "The Bibi Graetz 2020 Colore is a pure expression of Sangiovese, sourced entirely from old vines meticulously selected in different parts of Tuscany." The majority of the fruit comes from an elevated and cool site in Lamole or from 70-year-old vines in Bagno a Ripoli and Vincigliata near Fiesole. "A small percentage of old vines in Olmo is also used. Bibi has a preference for old vines, and you can taste the beautiful depth and complexity that comes through in the Colore."The bouquet of the Colore 2020 is phenomenally complex. Where to begin, where to end? Beguiling notes of cherries and ripe strawberries characterize the bouquet, harmonizing wonderfully with notes of cedar wood, dried herbs, liquorice and mint. There is also a wonderful hint of vanilla.On the palate, this Super Tuscan is dry, velvety soft, full-bodied, wonderfully fruity and at the same time light and dancing. "A wine with a perfect and lively tension, in which the power of the vintage dances harmoniously with the elegance of our vines," writes Bibi Graetz. Monica Larner judges that the mineral aromas and the light, clear acidity make the Colore an exceptional wine. Suckling: "Full-bodied, but not exaggerated, with tannins that are polished and show themselves over the entire length of the wine. It is dense, but has all the characteristics of a great wine." The finish of the Bibi Graetz Colore 2020 lingers for an almost unreal length of time.The Sangiovese grapes were harvested up to eight times in each vineyard. This means that only grapes with the perfect degree of ripeness are used for the Colore. The wines from the individual vineyards matured separately in oak for almost 20 months before the team decided on the final blend. The best Colore ever? Lucky for those who can form their own opinion.

Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2019

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awards 94 points and high praise to the Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2019 as “a pure expression of Sangiovese” in its accolade to this fantastic Tuscan red wine, which is also celebrated by other wine critics around the globe. James Suckling awards it 97 points, followed by Falstaff with 95. Connoisseurs can look forward to a fascinatingly complex and intense bouquet. Suckling writes of a “very attractive combination of dried fruit and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too.” The Wine Advocate detects “perfumed blue flower, candied orange peel, wet earth and plummy black fruit.” On the palate, the Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2019 is full-bodied, simultaneously powerful and elegant. The velvety tannins are wonderfully integrated and intertwined with the intense fruit, resulting in an exceptional taste experience. Moreover, according to the Wine Advocate, “a strong chalky mineral signature” characterises the looong finish. Bibi Graetz himself wrote, “Elegance, that is the word that describes Testamatta 2019,” adding that “Testamatta 2019 is perfectly balanced with deep layers that show incredible complexity."The grapes for the single-varietal Sangiovese come from the five best vineyards of the Testamatta estate in Tuscany: Vincigliata, Londa, Lamole, Montefili and Siena. The vines are up to 80 years old. The staff involved in producing the Bibi Graetz Testamatta undertake up to eight (!) harvesting phases. Only grapes of optimal ripeness are used in this shimmering, deep ruby red wine. The wines from the individual vineyards were aged in oak casks for 20 months. Graetz wrote, “The 20th anniversary of Testamatta is a real milestone, the pinnacle of quality that I have been looking for in my Sangiovese since the first vintage in 2000.” Those who open a bottle of the Testamatta 2019 are fortunate to be able to share in it.

Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso Toscana 2020

The Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020 is an outstanding red wine from Tuscany. You don't really need to say much more when you hear the name Bibi Graetz in the wine world. You can simply rely on getting a super Tuscan that makes international wine critics rave about it. It's no different with this single-varietal Sangiovese from the 2020 vintage. Nevertheless, let's take a closer look - so that the anticipation grows.Incidentally, Testamatta means something like "muddlehead". There seems to be a lot of irony in this name, because you can hardly create a wine in a more planned and meticulous way than the team around Bibi Graetz in the small town of Fiesole (in the north-east of Florence) does.Graetz himself shows no false modesty with his Testamatta Rosso 2020: "This is the highest level of perfection ever achieved," he writes. He particularly emphasizes the strawberry notes and vanilla aroma, as well as an incredible freshness.James Suckling awarded the wine 94 points and described the bouquet as follows: "Beautiful, fresh aromas of sour cherries, orange peel and lemon shrub." Notes of plum and freshly cut liquorice also enrich the complex bouquet.On the palate, the Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020 is dry, highly aromatic and wonderfully fresh. Graetz attributes the freshness to the new vineyards in Olmo, where the grapes ripen on a "magical terroir" at an altitude of 420 meters. Monica Larner, who awards 95 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, confirms this: "The introduction of these grapes (from an airy, high-altitude site) gives Testamatta its beautiful clarity, sharpness and sublime bouquet. The new Fiesole fruit makes up around 30 to 35% of this wine. The results are lively, transparent and fresh both in terms of acidity and aromatic intensity."Suckling finds these words for the palate: "Medium-bodied with firm, racy acidity and ultra-fine tannins that give the wine clarity and energy. It definitely follows the new wave of crisp, lively Sangiovese creations from Tuscany that emphasize drinkability and transparency. Lighter than past vintages."The grapes for the Italian red wine come from six different vineyards: Vincigliata, Olmo, Londa, Lamole, Montefili and Siena. The grapes were meticulously harvested eight times in the individual vineyards. The various components were matured in oak for 20 months.The result is the outstanding Testamatta Rosso 2020. No "muddlehead", but a lucky child who gets to enjoy a bottle of this Super Tuscan.
