The Testamatta is made from 100 percent Sangiovese grapes. These come from very old vines spread across Bibi Graetz's various vineyards in Tuscany. The grapes are selected from the finest vineyards. Within each vineyard, the grapes are harvested individually by hand and subjected to strict controls. In the winery, another rigorous selection takes place, after which the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation with natural and indigenous yeasts follows. For the smaller plots, fermentation takes place in open barriques, while for the larger plots, stainless steel tanks are used. After 7 to 10 days, the different plots are transferred to old barriques where they mature for 20 months.
The Testamatta is a ruby red in the glass, instantly revealing a beautiful aroma. An intense and complex bouquet of blueberries, cherries, violets, rosemary, cloves, and cocoa. A beautiful combination of aromas that immediately seduces you from the first sip. On the palate, it offers an elegant and complex flavor. This Bibi Graetz Testamatta is a powerful, full-bodied wine with soft tannins. These flavors continue into a smooth, long finish.
