"Perfection in 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 rather endless. Crisp and mellow on the finish. What presence! You'll want to spend time with this wine. A high-end 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 is already a great pleasure, but will be even better in two or three years. (James Suckling 2024) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

About wine:
Colore is the fruit of old vines located in the hills of Chianti Classico, in Lamole and Olmo. "Colore has been my dream since I started working with old vines... The Lamole vineyard is magnificent, it is THE Chianti Classico vineyard," 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 is at altitude and north-facing; the fruit has real punch. " Precisely sculpted and very intense, Colore 2022 is both mellow and lively. Black berries, spices, and blood orange are brought together by 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 wine:
Ruby color similar to that of a gemstone, translucent, although slightly deeper than some vintages. A seductive wine, capturing all the 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, undergrowth, savory but with a finish of sweet red licorice, I love it. Perfectly balanced, this wine embodies the lively Tuscan spirit of owner and winemaker Bibi Graetz.
