Bibi Graetz Colore – Toscana IGT – Red – 2015 – 1500 ml:

 

Bibi Graetz Colore: The Ultimate Super-Tuscan Red

Colore Red is the pinnacle of Bibi Graetz’s winemaking philosophy, a liquid masterpiece that embodies the essence of Tuscany’s elite Sangiovese. Sourced from the winery’s oldest and finest high-altitude vineyards-some over 80 years old-Colore is a testament to purity, finesse, and the unique Tuscan terroir (rocky, poor soils).

This ‘Super-Tuscan’ is a highly selective blend, often 100% Sangiovese, where only the absolute best barrels from the harvest make the final cut. It is a wine that seeks transparency and energy, offering a counterpoint to the more concentrated styles, resulting in a profoundly complex and age-worthy red.

Sommelier Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A brilliant, luminous purple color.
• Nose: An olfactory explosion of ripe red fruits (cherry, strawberry, raspberry), layered with captivating floral notes, orange peel, and complex undertones of licorice, mint, and earthy spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably clean and focused. Bright, high-shining acidity provides a vertical structure, while the silky, polished tannins offer a luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors echo the nose, adding touches of dark fruit, coffee, and balsamic notes.
• Finish: Long, persistent, and exquisitely elegant, promising superb aging potential.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This monumental wine demands attention. Serve at 61°F-64°F (16°C-18°C). Decanting for 1-2 hours is highly recommended to allow the aromas to fully unfold.

• Food Pairings: The perfect match for a traditional Bistecca alla Fiorentina, rich venison stew, or a selection of aged, hard Italian cheeses.
