Parker about Color 2021
The Bibi Graetz 2021 Colore is Sangiovese from old vines, but otherwise, winemaking and the oak regime is identical to the other top red, Testamatta. In this case, fruit comes from the Lamole area with vineyards at a high 600 meters above sea level. Some are south-facing but high up on the mountain. As Bibi explains: “Colore delivers power and freshness, whereas Testamatta delivers transparency and freshness.” The Colore shows the pure energy and liveliness of Sangiovese with violet, wild cherry and orange zest. The wine delivers an elegantly earthy side with a very delineated mouthfeel driven by very fine, silly tannins. This is a beautiful wine with delicately sweet cherry on the finish. Bibi has been making little changes to this wine over the years (other than giving it a new winery home in Fiesole) to capture an ideal or benchmark for Sangiovese. His 2021 is his best wine yet. Production is 35,000 bottles, which is slightly lower compared to the last vintage.

Color 2021

Bibi Graetz's "Colore" is an outstanding wine from Tuscany, highly prized by many wine lovers. It is a powerful, complex, and high-quality red wine made from a blend of various Tuscan grape varieties.
The Colore is typically a blend composed primarily of Sangiovese, complemented by other local grape varieties such as Canaiolo and Colorino, and possibly international varieties. Bibi Graetz is known for his innovation and ability to create unique and expressive wines from the various grape varieties.
This wine often displays a deep ruby red color and a complex bouquet of aromas ranging from dark berry fruits such as cherries and blackberries to spicy nuances, herbs and a hint of floral notes.
On the palate, Colore is often powerful and structured, with well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, lingering finish. Its ability to age makes it a wine that can be enjoyed both young and after some cellaring.
