Tasting Notes
In the glass, this vintage typically shows a deep ruby to garnet hue with impressive concentration. The nose is layered and aromatic, offering dark cherry, blackberry, violets, Mediterranean herbs, spice, and a subtle earthy lift. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined, with ripe red and dark fruit, polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, structured finish. The wine’s balance and intensity suggest excellent aging potential, rewarding further cellaring for those who enjoy mature Tuscan reds.

Production
Produced in Tuscany from carefully selected old-vine fruit, Colore reflects Bibi Graetz’s focus on low-intervention winemaking and small-batch precision. The wine is sourced from distinct vineyard sites that contribute complexity and character, with vinification aimed at preserving purity, perfume, and structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled bistecca Fiorentina, slow-braised lamb, wild boar ragù, aged Pecorino, or rich mushroom dishes. Serve at 16–18°C and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young, as this helps the wine open up and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Bibi Graetz is one of Tuscany’s most distinctive producers, widely recognized for his artistic approach and his work with old vines across the region. Based near Florence, he has built a strong reputation for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines that have earned critical acclaim both in Italy and internationally.
