Bibi Graetz Soffocone di Natale 2023

Bibi Graetz Soffocone di Natale 2023 is a characterful Tuscan red that captures the playful, free-spirited style of one of Italy’s most distinctive producers. Built around a classic blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, and Colorino, it offers vibrant fruit, earthy complexity, and the kind of personality that has made Bibi Graetz a cult name in modern Tuscan wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with a lively, youthful edge. The nose is expressive and inviting, with red cherry, wild berries, violets, and a subtle herbal-spice note layered over hints of earth and dried flowers. On the palate, it is fresh and energetic, with juicy red fruit, fine tannins, and a mineral backbone that keeps the wine focused. The blend brings both lift and depth, making it approachable now while still offering enough structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
Soffocone di Natale comes from Tuscany, where the combination of warm days, cool evenings, and varied soils helps preserve freshness in the grapes while building aromatic intensity. The vineyards are harvested with care, and the vinification is designed to protect the wine’s bright fruit character and sense of place, with a focus on gentle extraction and balance rather than heavy-handed oak influence.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for Tuscan-inspired dishes such as pasta with tomato sauce, roast chicken, grilled lamb, or charcuterie and aged pecorino. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant if drinking young to let the aromatics open up.

Producer
Bibi Graetz is one of Tuscany’s most individual winemakers, known for producing wines that combine tradition with a distinctly artistic and unconventional touch. Based near Florence, he has earned a strong reputation for expressive, site-driven wines that celebrate old vines and native varieties, and his name has become closely associated with originality and quality in the region.
