Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020 "Testamatta," meaning "crazy-head" in Italian, perfectly reflects the creative and passionate nature of winemaker Bibi Graetz. This Supertuscan wine highlights the purity, minerality, and transparency of Sangiovese from old vines. The grapes for the 2020 vintage are hand-picked and undergo rigorous selection in both the vineyard and winery.

After 7-10 days of maceration, the wine is aged for 20 months in old barriques and 50hl casks. Expect a fresh and vibrant nose with aromas of strawberries and Amarena cherries, complemented by hints of vanilla. On the palate, you'll find complex flavors of balsamic, earth, and tobacco, with high, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that carry the flavors to a very long finish. This vintage has received exceptional acclaim, earning 96 points from The Independent and 95 points from Robert Parker. With its excellent quality and great aging potential, Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020 is a must-have for any wine enthusiast. Order yours today!
