From this winery
  • Start up year: 2000
  • Oenologist: Bibi Graetz
  • Bottles produced: 400.000
  • Hectares: 70
In two decades since his first vintage release, Bibi Graetz has become one of the brightest lights in Tuscan winemaking. This is primarily thanks to the superb quality of his pure-Sangiovese Testamatta and Colore. Bibi Graetz draws on old vines, which give his best reds depth and soul.

Red grapes are cultivated on the hillsides above Florence and sourced from prime sites in the Chianti Classico region, such as Montefili and Lamole. His whites from the island of Giglio are also an inspiration, proving that Tuscany can make great white wine, as well as red. You have an opportunity to experience an amazing place where art, beauty and a unique winery become a setting for one of the best wine productions on the Tuscan and global scene.
