Casamatta is the name Bibi Graetz gave his wines and means "madhouse" in Italian. In Florence, Bibi's hometown, this term is used positively. Casamatta wine is a blend of white grape varieties Vermentino, Trebbiano, and Moscato. This combination creates a juicy explosion of flavors with notes of candied citrus, fennel, and minerals, along with a subtle saltiness.

Bibi Casamatta Bianco is made from grapes grown in the Capalbio vineyards, located in southern Tuscany in the Maremma region. The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at very low temperatures for two weeks. This process preserves the wine's freshness. After fermentation, the different wines are blended and aged in tanks for three months before bottling. This aging process contributes to the development of the wine's flavors and aromas, allowing them to be even more pronounced upon consumption.
