The Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC 2022 is a masterpiece of Italian winemaking and is one of the most renowned Super Tuscans. Sourced from the best vineyards in Bolgheri, this Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Merlot blend combines elegance, depth and incomparable finesse. The vineyards at an altitude of 100 to 400 m with chalky, clayey soils and the typical pebbles provide a unique minerality that is reflected in the wine.

The 2022 vintage brought high temperatures, but Bolgherí's special microclimate ensured a perfect balance between freshness and ripeness. Rainfall in the fall and winter ensured an optimal water supply, while a mild spring and the vineyards' hillside location allowed for excellent grape ripening.

After careful manual harvesting, the grapes were gently pressed and underwent controlled alcoholic fermentation. The maceration period lasted 13-18 days in order to extract polyphenols and aromas optimally. After spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 23 months in wooden barrels before being assembled in stainless steel tanks for the final cuvée.

In the glass, the Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC 2022 is a deep ruby red with complex aromas of dark berries, cassis and subtle spicy notes, underpinned by delicate mineral and smoky hints. The palate reveals a perfect balance of fruit, elegance and structure, with fine-grained tannins and a long, velvety finish that emphasizes the class and longevity of this super Tuscan.

This exceptional red wine goes perfectly with grilled fillet of beef, rack of lamb or mature hard cheese. Serve at 16-18 °C to fully enjoy its complexity, depth and full aromatic profile.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2019
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
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.

Tenuta Argentiera Ventaglio Rosso Toscana IGT 2015
Tenuta Argentiera Ventaglio Rosso Toscana IGT 2015
Das Weingut Tenuta Argentiera gehört ohne Zweifel seit Jahren zu den Top-Erzeugern aus der Toskana. Der Ventaglio Rosso Toscana ist das Premiumprodukt des Weingutes. Mit dem Jahrgang 2015 hat Argentiera erstmals einen Lagenwein aus einer ganz besonderen Parzelle vinifiziert. Lediglich 2950 Flaschen in 750 ml Größe und nur 250 Magnumflaschen wurden abgefüllt. Die Basis für diesen 2015er Jahrgang ist die Rebsorte Cabernet Franc. Der Wein wurde mit 15% Cabernet Sauvignon verschnitten. Das Besondere an der Lage des Weinberges ist seine fächerförmige Anordnung der Rebstöcke. Dieses gibt dem Wein auch seinen Namen. (Fächer heißt im Italienischen Ventaglio) Diese Art der Pflanzung führt dazu, dass die Trauben des Weinberges in verschiedene Kategorien eingestellt sind.Der Ventaglio weist höchste Komplexität und Struktur auf. Seine außergewöhnliche Eleganz bringt die unterschiedlichen Komponenten wunderbar zusammen. Sowohl die Gärung als auch die Reifung fand in teilweise neuen französischen und österreichischen Eichenfässern statt. Das verleiht dem Wein einen robusten und langlebigen Körper.Die Farbe zeigt ein starkes Rubinrot und die Ränder schimmern in leichtem Violett. Die Nase ist geprägt von viel schwarzer Frucht. Die anfänglichen Aromen von Brombeere und Pflaume gleiten in ein Rauch- und Gewürzaroma über. Am Gaumen präsentiert sich der Ventaglio von Argentiera extrem kraftvoll und vielschichtig. Erdige Töne spielen mit den fein geschliffenen Tanninen. Der Abgang ist wunderbar fruchtig und von zarter Cremigkeit.
