Estate

From a medieval castle, Castello di Vincigliata, acquired by his parents over 60 years ago, winemaker Bibi Graetz crafts his wines on a hillside overlooking the great city of Florence. Beginning initially with only a small, 5-acre vineyard on this hillside in Fiesole, in little under two decades, Bibi has become one of Italy's most ingenious winemakers adding "cult winemaker" in addition to "talented abstract artist" to his dossier.

Since the release of his first wines in 2000 and without any formal training, Bibi Graetz has managed to stir-up the Tuscan wine scene, and with the creation of Testamatta and Colore, has made his name eponymous with great Tuscan wines. Regularly scoring in the high 90’s with wine publications like Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and James Suckling, coupled with his unique and artisanal winemaking approach, Bibi Graetz’s wines have garnered a loyal following among wine collectors and wine trade.

Description

Soffocone di Vincigliata from the hand of maestro Bibi Graetz is a special expression of Sangiovese, pure and of radiant quality. Subtle aromas of wild berries, cherries, liquorice and a touch of lavender. Dense and with fine-grained tannin on the palate. Very elegant, accessible and sophisticated.

The purity of this wine impresses people every single time. With Soffocone they wanted to bring Sangiovese to the next level of elegance and finesse, this vintage has been the perfect result. Roses, red flowers on the nose, wild strawberries in the palate will leave space to velvety tannins and a long sensual finish.
