An artist who became a Tuscan wine icon

Before dedicating himself to wine, Bibi Graetz pursued an artistic career after studying at the Academia dell’Arte in Florence. This creative sensibility continues to influence his vision of wine today, from the development of the cuvées to the design of the labels he creates himself. His unique approach has allowed him to establish himself among the most respected producers in Tuscany, with wines regularly praised by international critics.

The Passion for Old Tuscan Vines Description:

The estate boasts one of Tuscany's most significant collections of old vines. Fascinated by their ability to produce grapes of great finesse, Bibi Graetz favors ancient plots located on high-altitude terroirs with poor and stony soils. This continuous pursuit of quality results in elegant, precise wines deeply marked by their origin. Historic grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino play a central role in the estate's identity.

Testamatta and Colore, two icons of Tuscany

Among the estate's most sought-after cuvées, Testamatta has established itself as an essential reference for great contemporary Tuscan wines. Produced mainly from Sangiovese sourced from several exceptional vineyards, it expresses all the complexity and elegance of the grape variety. Colore, on the other hand, represents the quintessence of Bibi Graetz's philosophy, with a rigorous selection of the best plots and limited production intended for lovers of great aged wines.

Winemaking dedicated to showcasing the terroir

In his Fiesole cellar, Bibi Graetz favors winemaking methods aimed at preserving the purity of the fruit and the identity of each vineyard. Spontaneous fermentations, manual labor, and carefully controlled aging processes reveal the full personality of the grapes. This philosophy gives rise to wines renowned for their transparency, energy, and remarkable ability to reflect the Tuscan terroirs from which they originate.
