2020, Testamatta
Bibi Graetz

Bibi Graetz, the sangiovese in all its glory

In two decades since his first vintage release, Bibi Graetz has become one of the brightest lights in Tuscan winemaking. This is primarily thanks to the superb quality of his pure sangiovese. Bibi Graetz draws on old vines, which give his best reds depth and soul. Red grapes are cultivated on the hillsides above Florence and sourced from prime sites in the Chianti Classico region, such as Montefili and Lamole. 

"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 old vines on the top of the hills characterized by soils rich of stones. A Supertoscan made with 100% Sangiovese, result of the combination of tradition and creativity.

Three new elements characterize the 2020 vintage. One is the climate. Our best vineyards have never expressed their self so well as in 2020. The new vineyards in Olmo, which brought an incredible freshness to the wines. It has a magic terroir at 420m high. The third element is the new winery in Fiesole in which we managed to work in more evolved and comfortable way. We have now all the tools we need for creating the Testamatta and Colore that we want.

Tasting notes

“2020 is the year of destiny! It’s like when all the stars are aligned, all the planets are aligned. What I really love of the fruit of Testamatta is this incredible strawberries felling mixed with aroma of vanilla, kind of whipped-cream with strawberries! It has an incredible freshness; this is the real beauty of Testamatta 2020. This is the highest level of perfection ever reached.” Bibi Graetz
