2023, Bibi Graetz, Soffocone di Vincigliata, IGT TOSCANA, Rosso
100% Sangiovese from the Vincigliata vineyard facing Florence.
"My idea of Tuscan traditions and heritage. Vincigliata’s unique terroir imparts distinct characteristics to the wine, showcasing the pure expression of Sangiovese."
Bibi Graetz.
‘You can do so many different things with Sangiovese,’ explains Bibi. Here, he has produced a much more textural and grippy Sangiovese, from his lowest vineyard at around 200m above sea level. Weightier and darker in character, the red and black cherry core has spicy edges and a saline zing, and the wine lingers with some refreshing bitter herbs on the finish. 2025-2029

Showing blue flowers and a subtle note of balsamic herb, it ends with powdery tannins and fine texture. This vineyard site was planted in 2012, but it has some plants from the 1960s.
