“The epitome of Sangiovese, with aromas of cherry blossoms, chalk, seashells, fine sand, and violets on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with concentrated, balanced tannins that are wonderfully integrated and seem to go on forever. Crisp and velvety on the finish. What presence! You’ll want to spend time with this wine. A top-tier selection from two vineyards, Olmo and another located in the Chianti Classico village of Lamole, aged 60 and 88 years, respectively. This is a wine that’s already a great pleasure to drink, but will be even better in two or three years.

About the wine:
Colore is made from old vines located in the hills of Chianti Classico, in Lamole and Olmo. “Colore has been my dream ever since I started working with old vines... The Lamole vineyard is magnificent; it is THE vineyard of Chianti Classico,” explains Bibi Graetz. 2022 was a hot year, so Bibi decided to use only the fruit from his north-facing vineyards. “This hot year has given me this material, even though it’s at high altitude and north-facing; the fruit has that punch. ” Precisely crafted and highly intense, Colore 2022 is both mellow and lively. Black berries, spices, and blood orange come together in a lingering, tangy finish. It is more closed than the Testamatta at the moment, but should reveal more of its beauty with time. 2025–2045

About the wine:
A ruby color reminiscent of a jewel, translucent, though slightly deeper than some vintages. A captivating wine that captures all its juiciness and delicacy even in the heat of 2022. Of medium intensity, it reveals aromas of raspberry and ripe red fruits, well-balanced, intense, with a touch of orange peel, rosemary, tobacco, white tea, pomegranate, cherry pit, cut herbs, and undergrowth—flavorful but with a finish of sweet red licorice; I love it. Perfect balance—and here we are right in the heart of the lively Tuscan pleasure of owner and winemaker Bibi Graetz.
