Bibi Graetz Testamatta 2020

Bibi Graetz Testamatta 2020 is an elegant, pure, and vibrant Super Tuscan red wine crafted entirely from 100% Sangiovese sourced from old, high-altitude hilltop vineyards across Tuscany. Displaying a brilliant, luminous ruby color, it opens with fragrant and lifted aromas of sour red cherries, wild strawberries, and orange zest, beautifully intertwined with notes of crushed rock, delicate rose petals, peppery herbs, and subtle sweet baking spices. On the palate, it exhibits a medium-bodied, silky texture with a bright, vertical structure, characterized by lively, crunchy acidity and ultra-fine, chalky tannins that carry intense flavors of tart raspberry, graphite minerality, and savory herbs into a long, precise, and refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with herb-crusted rack of lamb, pan-seared Florentine steak, roasted duck breast, wild mushroom risotto, and aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.

94 Points - James Suckling

Beautiful, fresh aromas of sour cherries, orange peel and lemon bush. Medium-bodied with firm, racy acidity and ultra-fine tannins that add brightness and energy to the wine. This is definitely following the new wave of crunchy, vivid Tuscany sangioveses, which emphasize drinkability and transparency. Lighter than past vintages. Drink now or hold.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Production was greatly reduced in this vintage, down to about 53,000 bottles. The Bibi Graetz 2020 Testamatta is brilliant and vertical with a terrific sense of purity. The bouquet opens to tart cherry and cassis. The wine is vertical and lifted, and the acidity is nicely highlighted. The year 2020 was when Bibi Graetz bought a former hotel that he has since turned into his winery and home.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

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.
