Producer

Producer

The grapes for Colore 2020 come from old Sangiovese vines, 60 to 80 years old, planted on high-altitude terroirs between 350 and 600 meters. The soils are varied: schist, galestro, and sand, giving the wine its minerality and tension. Extremely low yields promote exceptional concentration. The vineyard is managed organically, with meticulous attention paid to each vine to guarantee impeccable quality.

Owner and history

Trained as an artist, Bibi Graetz has become an emblematic figure of the Tuscan renaissance. Without any family roots in winemaking, he embarked on this path with passion in 2000, convinced of the immense potential of old Sangiovese vines. A visionary and unconventional winemaker, he champions respectful, artisanal viticulture and has risen to the ranks of Italy's greatest names. With Colore, his masterpiece, he has created a wine that is both timeless and avant-garde, concentrating all his sensitivity in each vintage.

Vinification and aging

At Bibi Graetz, winemaking is gentle and precise: each plot is fermented separately in open wooden vats with manual punch-downs. Maceration lasts several weeks to extract the full aromatic richness of the Sangiovese. The 2020 Colore is then aged for 20 months in neutral French oak barrels. This method highlights the terroir's identity without masking the fruit, guaranteeing a pure, expressive wine built for aging.
