2010 Bibi Graetz Colore Toscana IGT
£239.00
“Linear drive to this medium-bodied wine now, offering dark berries, mushrooms and some flowers and spices. Tight and racy.”
97 Points, James Suckling
“This displays a dense and smoky nose, with cherry and blackberry aromas. It’s rich, plump and super-concentrated with huge but ripe tannins. Its power and structure mean that it could still benefit from more bottle-age and it should age effortlessly. Long chocolatey finish. (Drink between 2022-2036)”
96 Points, Decanter

Product Description
The Colore comes from Bibi Graetz’s three best vineyard sites: Lamole, Vincigliata and Siena. Lamole offers vines over 80 years old in terraced vineyards at an altitude of 620 meters, producing small, concentrated grapes. Siena is at 350 meters above sea level with fertile, pebble-rich soil, and Vincigliata is at 300 meters with clay-rich Galestro soils. In Vincigliata, the grapes are harvested up to eight times and only perfect grapes are processed. Fermentation takes place in open barriques with wild yeasts, followed by three years of ageing in new barriques. This meticulous process guarantees the outstanding quality and unique character of the Colore.
