COLORE 2020

Description

A l’occasion de cette sortie, Bibi Graetz a créé un tout nouveau conditionnement.

Un élément en acier inoxydable, poli entièrement à la main, recouvre la caisse bois. Il s’inspire des œuvres d’art du père de Bibi Graetz, Gidon Graetz, le sculpteur israélo-suisse.

Les caisses de ce nouveau millésime reflètent le lien entre le parcours artistique de la famille de Bibi et ses vins.

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.

Bright and lively on the palate, such beautifully expressed raspberry and red cherry fruit flavours alongside high-shining acidity that is so clean and precise. A supremely joyful expression with hints of caramelised strawberries and fresh mint. So sharp but so well defined with a clarity to the palate that is gorgeous. Really delivers a sophisticated, charming, characterful wine that is balanced, easy to enjoy with plenty of life. A more structured and perhaps harder to understand wine than Testamatta this year, but both have their own lovely personalities. This is so complete and abundant, muscular but controlled and full of complexity and detail – there’s weight and density without heaviness. A sensational wine. Ageing 12 months in 500l French oak barrels.
