Wine Enthusiast, tasting note published in March 14th 2023

The subtle nose on this wine releases oak notes first, then cherries, soy sauce, herbs, pencil shavings and eraser, and finally a little orange peel. Graphite and soil come through on the palate alongside more cherries, orange and dried herbs. Tannins hold their shape but let the fruit speak, while acid cuts right down the tongue.

Bibi Graetz

Bibi Graetz Winery was founded in 2000 on the hills of Fiesole, overlooking Florence, where Bibi, raised in a family of artists, fell deeply in love with wine and made it his life. Fascinated by old vines — for their finesse, elegance, and the purity of the fruit they produce — Bibi Graetz now holds one of the largest collections of old vineyards in Tuscany.
