Bibi Graetz Colore Rosso 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Colore is the highest expression of Bibi Graetz dream, from very old vineyards of Sangiovese. Poor soils mixed with sand and stone and high altitude create the perfect terroir for a wine that tells a lot about Tuscany and its ancient taste. Only the best few barrels of the whole production will become Colore. A focused, old-vine sangivoese with dried cherry, mushroom, bark and blackberry aromas and flavors. Turns to lavender and roses. Medium-bodied with savory fruit and a spicy, juicy finish, Bright and vivid, with just a touch of balsamic at the end telling you its soul is in Tuscany. Drink or hold. Colore has been submitted to many transformations over the years, including changes to its blend and changes to its vineyard sourcing. Today, Colore represents about 24,000 bottles produced, compared to 40,000 bottles of Testamatta. The Bibi Graetz 2023 Colore sees a tiny 1% of whole-cluster fruit for a hint of buoyancy but otherwise offers plenty of natural spiciness and cinnamon-like flavors from the skins of Sangiovese. Fruit comes from old vines, showing aromas of wild strawberry, iris and blueberry. There is a delicate sweetness to the fruit in this vintage. The wine is elegant and medium weight, emphasizing ethereal nuances over anything heavy or too powerful.Rating: 94+
