The Bibi Graetz winery was founded in 2000 on the hill of Fiesole, overlooking Florence, where Bibi, who grew up in a family of artists, felt completely in love with wine and made of it his life.

Testamatta grapes are selected and sourced from the best 5 vineyards of the winery: Vincigliata, Londa, Lamole, Montefili, Siena. Each vineyard, divided in parcels, is harvested up to 8 times, making sure all the grapes are picked at the perfect ripening point. The 5 vineyards, characterized by very old age (up to 80 yrs) are located in different areas of Tuscany.

“Testa-Matta” in Italy is someone with a strong personality, a distinctive style and positive attitude and creativity. No other name could describe better Bibi
Graetz flagship wine. Supertuscan made with 100% Sangiovese from old vines, this wine is the result of the combination of tradition and creativity, elevating the idea of Tuscan Sangiovese and bringing the word “Supertuscan” to the next level.

					<description><![CDATA[Tenuta Cantagallo has been owned by the Pierazzuoli family since 1970 and covers 200 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods on the rolling Tuscan hills between Florence and Vinci. Their second property, Le Farnete Estate, is located in the town of Carmignano, near Firenze and it covers a surface of 100 acres in the Carmignano docg zone and it is of Pierazzuoli Family since 1990.

This wine takes its name from the two-metre high, 52 km long wall (Barco Reale) that the Medici family erected in 1626 to delimit what could be defined as Italy's first nature reserve. The Barco Reale was then considered by Cosimo III de' Medici (in the Bando Granducale of 1716) as the boundary for the production of Carmignano wine.

Barco Reale is always made from 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.

					<description><![CDATA[Tenuta San Guido is the result of a very long tradition and of an ethical message handed down from generation to generation. Over the years, the dedication and commitment to the company's activities have led to many successes: Sassicaia, in the wine sector, the Razza Dormello Olgiata, in the breeding of thoroughbred horses and the Rifugio Faunistico Padule di Bolgheri, for the protection of nature and wildlife.

Originally reserved for family and friends until 1967, Sassicaia was released on the market for the first time in 1971 with the 1968 vintage. To this day, the winemaking team remains committed to preserving the stylistic imprint that inspired the creation of this wine.
<div class="c-cCNRlB c-cCNRlB-fKKfJh-fontVariant-small c-cCNRlB-fZwUQD-fontFamily-secondary">

<em>“We believe that Sassicaia is one of the greatest wine creations of the century. It also happens to be simply wonderful to drink. May it thrive through the new millennium.”</em> - Serena Sutcliffe MW &#38; David Peppercorn MW

Alcohol 14%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep ruby-red colour.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
A highly perfumed and complex nose which features blackcurrant, blackberry jam, and plum, interwoven with savory notes of forest floor, cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Fleshy and expansive palate with an extra dimension of textural intensity. It offers layers of dark cherry, licorice, and crème de cassis. The wine is balanced by a sharp acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
Aged for 25 months in French oak barriques (roughly 45% new oak) before bottling.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Due to its firm structure and rich tannins, Sassicaia 2020 pairs best with a classic Fiorentina steak or herb-crusted roast lamb or wild boar ragù served over pappardelle.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[It was in 1981 that the Marquis Lodovico Antinori, cousin of Piero Antinori, founded the Ornellaia Estate, in the heart of the Bolgheri area, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. Thus, with the first harvest of 1985, what would become an icon among the SuperTuscans was born: the "Ornellaia". With the inauguration of the company, the world-famous enologist, Michel Rolland, begins to deal with the technical part of the cellar. Subsequently, in the 90s the other two labels were born: "Le Volte" and "Le Serre Nuove".

Ornellaia is a blend of nature and musing. Complex ancient soils converse through human wisdom with a delicate microclimate that is echoed and reflected in the Mediterranean Sea. Prolonged ageing accompanies the estate’s fine wine in achieving its utmost expression, revealing finesse and generosity over time.

					<description><![CDATA[Located in the Montalcino area, southwest of the medieval city, Tenuta Luce Della Vite, one of the estates of the Frescobaldi family, produces some of the best wines of Tuscany and the greatest Italian wines. Literally, Tuscany in a unique light.

Of the 92 hectares of vineyards owned by Luce della Vite, 11 are registered in the “Albo del Brunello di Montalcino.”
This is where the Sangiovese for Luce Brunello is born. This wine is our tribute to this excellent wine born in Montalcino in the second half of the 19th Century. It was the first wine in Italy to achieve, in 1980, the Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita. Today it is one of the emblems of Made in Italy fine wines. Luce Brunello di Montalcino thus continues a journey of the highest quality inspired by this unique territory and the great wines that are born here.
