Bibi Graetz Testamatta IGT Toscana Rosso 2016

Bibi Graetz Testamatta IGT Toscana Rosso 2016James Suckling 98 points A very beautiful and thoughtful Testamatta with aromas of earth, terra cotta, black tea, and lavender. Full bodied, very layered and extremely polished with superb, soft tannins. Racy and very long. Muscular and formed but very, very balanced. Gorgeous richness and depth. Shows balance and wonder. Try in 2020. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96 points The 2016 Testamatta represents a blend of fruit from old vines spread

of new oak

The wine is well balanced across all components on the palate

Bottling is controlled at 51

with a similar fruit quality doing a lovely vertical trick through the mid-palate where you can feel each individual element's weight

and the alcohol vapours are passed through a mesh/basket containing the ten botanicals

light notes of orange blossom
