Grilli means crickets in Italian - meaning to be a dreamer. This wine was born from a partnership that reflects the creative style and the dynamic capabilities of Bibi Graetz. With this wine Bibi has broken his own rules and made a wine with grapes that are not indigenous to Tuscany, while following the definition of "Supertuscan" using 85% cabernet and 15% merlot. "For many years, making a wine with Bordeaux-style grapes was not even a possibility. Supertuscan for me was Sangiovese, Canaiolo and colourino. Still is, but I don’t like to close myself into boxes and I decided to create an international blend breaking my own rule. This is my modern interpretation of Supertuscan, with low oak and a fantastic energy and elegance. Red fruits at the very beginning leave space to plum, dark chocolate and leather, with a super-fine acidity that supports the freshness and the elegance rather than the power and the structure." - Bibi Graetz
