2021 Colore, Bibi Graetz, Tuscany Red | Still | 14%

The Bibi Graetz 2021 Colore is considered the best wine yet to come from this cult Tuscan estate. The fruit comes from the Lamole area, from vines planted at 600m altitude. There's always a lot of power in Colore, compared to its stablemate Testamatta. And in 2021 there's noticeable energy with more lifted violet and wild herb aromas. The tannins are elegant, silky, and give an earthy balance to the sweet cherry fruit that builds on the palate.

Ready: 2024 - 2042

2021 Testamatta, Bibi Graetz, Tuscany Red | Still | 13%

The 2021 Testamatta is sourced from various hilltop vineyards with a bit of altitude providing some coolness to this warm vintage. The philosophy here is to make transparent, approachable wines, so techniques avoid anything that might create too much concentration in the final wine. There's a savoury, earthy element to the wine that brings that approachable, gourmand feel they are looking for, and the fresh black cherry fruit and violet, rose petal complexity builds on that appetising quality. The tannins are lithe and subtly frame the wine, leaving it feeling classic and effortless in style.

Ready: 2024 - 2040
