Being a Testamatta

“Testamatta” is the word that best describes Bibi Graetz, a smiling, creative and passionate person. “Testamatta” is Supertuscan produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes from old vineyards, a perfect combination of tradition and creativity that illustrates the purity and elegance of this native vine.

Manufacturer's Notes

Sangiovese 100% “2020 is the year of destiny!

It's as if all the stars and planets are aligned. What I love most about Testamatta is the incredible combination between the fruity aroma of strawberry and vanilla, it reminds me of whipped cream with strawberries! But above all it has a fantastic freshness, this is the true beauty of Testamatta 2020.

It is certainly the highest level of perfection ever achieved.” Bibi Graetz

Vintage 2020

Three new elements characterize the 2020 vintage. The first is the climate, our vineyards have never expressed themselves so well as in 2020. The new Olmo vineyards, which brought an incredible freshness to the wines thanks to the magical terroir at 420m . of altitude. The third element is the new cellar in Fiesole which has allowed us to work more effectively and comfortably. We now have all the tools to create the Testamatta and Colore we have always aspired to. In 2020 the season was generally warm. After a mild winter, spring began with a few days of rain just before flowering, allowing the plants to accumulate the right water reserves. Summer arrived quickly with above average temperatures and drought but, fortunately, the cool night breezes allowed the grapes to maintain high acidity and aromatic character. The rains before the harvest allowed the full and complete maturation of the bunches. The harvest began on September 24th and ended on October 15th.

Vinification and refinement
The grapes for Testamatta are selected from the six best vineyards: Vincigliata, Olmo, Londa, Lamole, Montefili and Siena. Each vineyard, divided into parcels, is harvested up to eight times, so as to collect all the grapes at the perfect level of ripeness. A second sorting of the grapes is done in the cellar before destemming and then moving on to the soft pressing phase. The fermentations are conducted with native yeasts, in open barriques (225L), for the smaller plots, and in 50hl barrels or steel vats for the larger plots, with six manual punchings and pumping over per day. After 7-10 days of maceration, the different parcels are transferred to ninth-tenth passage barriques and 50hl barrels for aging for approximately 20 months.
