Bibi Graetz “Colore” Rosso Toscana IGT 2021 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Bibi Graetz

Bibi Graetz “Colore” Rosso Toscana IGT 2021 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Bibi Graetz A pure Sangiovese from the hills of Fiesole. It is called Colore, and it is a Rosso IGT produced by Bibi Graetz, an unconventional winemaker. An authentic expression of the territory and of the Sangiovese vine. Fiesole, a few kilometres from Florence, offers a unique terroir for the cultivation of Sangiovese. The calcareous and clayey soil, rich in minerals, and the Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, create the ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. The vinification of this Colore follows a careful process. Each plot is vinified separately and the grapes, after careful selection in the vineyard and in the cellar, are gently crushed and fermented in open barriques and steel or wooden vats. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, with manual pumping over and punching down to extract colour and aromas. After fermentation, the wine matures in barriques for 18 months. On the nose, red flowers, spices and leather blend with notes of ripe fruit, creating an elegant and persistent bouquet. In the mouth it conquers with its firm structure and elegance. Fine, well-integrated tannins support a rich, persistent body, giving a long, satisfying sip with a spicy, lingering finish. It is a wonderful accompaniment to savoury red meats, roasts and braised meats. Also excellent with mature cheeses.
