Bibi Graetz Testamatta White 2023

Bibi Graetz Testamatta White 2023 was a completely different vintage in comparison with previous ones. It was raining a lot which helped to accumulate water reserves necessary for the plants to reconstitute their vigour. This allowed to obtain wines with excellent acidity, beautiful freshness and great aromatic power.

Vinification: The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks for 6-7 days. 70% of the must is then moved into barriques for another 10 days without temperature control. After, the wine ages for 7 months in barriques in contact with lees (bâtonnage) while the remaining 30% ferments in stainless steel.

Tasting Notes: “This year’s Testamatta White 2023 is a true reflection of the magical terroir of Giglio island. When you taste it you will find yourself in between the vines surrounded by the sea! The wine opens with delicate aromas of blooming white flowers and ripe citrus fruits, leading into mineral notes and a touch of sea salt that is characteristic of the wines from Giglio. On the palate, the Ansonica reveals a soothing body with a refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish that lingers pleasantly.“ Bibi Graetz

Complex aromas of white pears, yellow plums and light mangoes with hints of minerals and fresh flowers. Medium- to full-bodied with a dense center palate and integrated phenolics that give this grace and sophistication. Barrel-fermented and aged old-vine ansonica. Drink or hold.

A blend of vineyards from the island of Giglio, this 100% Ansonica offers up complex notes of lemon leaf, apricot, Demerara sugar, bruised apple and some leesy hints. In the mouth it's intense and zippy, with textural feel allied to citrussy touches of pink grapefruit and lemon, finishing with apricot and a floral flourish. A really pretty white which has plenty to offer.

The Bibi Graetz 2023 Isola del Giglio Testamatta Bianco opens to a saturated off-gold color with thick aromas of peach cobbler, salty minerality and spicy saffron. After fermentation, the wine goes into oak barrels with frequent stirring of the lees for lingering creaminess on the finish. No new oak is used.
