2020 Colore, Bibi Graetz, Tuscany

2020 Colore, Bibi Graetz, Tuscany

Rich from old vine fruit with precise berries and wild strawberry fruit flavours. There's tons of dry spice aroma here too and a seriously long finish. Structured now with mouth-coating tannins, this is built for the long haul.

Tasting notes

The Bibi Graetz 2020 Colore is a pure expression of Sangiovese all sourced from old vines that are carefully selected in various parts of Tuscany. Much of the fruit comes from a high elevation and cool site in Lamole, or from 70-year-old vines in Bagno a Ripoli or 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 lovely depth and complexity that comes through in the Colore. Compared to his other wine Testamatta, this wine has seen fewer stylistic changes over the years, and the goal has always been elegance and finesse. Colore boasts a pretty luminous quality with dark fruit aromas and wild berry. There are hints of licorice and mint as well. Mineral flavors and bright acidity are what set Colore apart.
