"The art of magnifying Bibi Graetz's Sangiovese in this colorful bottle of remarkable freshness and length!"

"Fabulous aromas of strawberries, orange zest and orange blossom. A nose of exceptional purity. Very fragrant. A medium-bodied wine with linear, intense tannins and an ultra-fine texture. Fresh and saline, with good vivacity and precision. Mineral and lively. [Crisp. Salty. Delicious now, it will improve with age". (James Suckling 2023) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

About the wine:

A beautifully perfumed nose, delicately fragrant and inviting, with subtle notes of wild flowers, red and black fruits and sweet spices. Chalky, powdery tannins support a bright acidity that gives it a lively, vibrant expression. The tannins are of great finesse, but with a hint of spice that structures and maintains interest, present without being overpowering, letting the acidity and fruity aromas express themselves fully. Magnificently defined and expressed, elegant, refined, totally bewitching, it offers great aromatic complexity and a remarkably long finish. Exceptionally drinkable, which is quite a feat at this stage of youth. Well-crafted, balanced and pleasant, with warm, spicy notes on the finish. Truly wonderful and absolutely charming. Drink between 2026 and 2045.

About the wine:

The purity of fruit is impressive, with wonderfully harmonized aromas of cherry, cranberry and soft, mellow citrus. This medium- to full-bodied wine blossoms on the palate, with firm, complex tannins and a long, intense finish. It will take three to four years to refine, but it's already so seductive. A great beauty. Already irresistible, but at its peak after 2027.

About the wine:

An impressive Testamatta vintage, with great freshness and refined character. Its color is an intense ruby with hints of purplish tint. The nose is highly perfumed, offering a complex bouquet of red and black fruits, dried figs and ripe cherries. In the background, sweet spices and candied zest. On the palate, the structure is harmonious, with ripe, balanced tannins, good acidity and delicious complexity. The remarkably long, deep finish reveals fine minerality and elegant fruity notes. A very promising Testamatta.

About the wine:

Bright, jewel-like ruby color. Enchanting aromas of raspberry and red cherry. Fine, silky tannins. Well-structured, with mineral notes reminiscent of flint and licorice. A generous wine of great finesse, which gradually reveals itself. The complexity of this wine is simply impressive. Produced from the estate's parcels in Tuscany, where the vines, aged from 5 to 80 years, flourish at altitudes of 400 to 600 meters. Indigenous yeasts, six manual punchings of the cap per day, maximum 10-day maceration and barrel ageing (no new barrels). To be enjoyed between 2025 and 2038.
