Bibi Graetz Colore - Toscana IGT - Red - 2010 :

 

The Colore Red: Bibi Graetz's Cult Super-Tuscan

The Colore Red is widely regarded as the ultimate realization of Bibi Graetz’s artistic vision in winemaking. Hailing from some of Tuscany's oldest Sangiovese vines, meticulously selected from high-altitude plots, this wine is a true benchmark of the 'Super-Tuscan' category, prioritizing varietal purity and elegant transparency over sheer power.

As the flagship bottling, Colore is made only from the finest barrels, representing an obsessive commitment to quality. The old vines, combined with the unique, rocky Galestro soils, yield a wine of immense complexity, depth, and a vibrant character that speaks directly of its Tuscan origins near Florence.

Sommelier Tasting Profile

• Colour: A striking, luminous purple-red hue.
• Nose: Intensely perfumed. Expect an enchanting bouquet of wild red berries (raspberry, cherry), dried roses, orange zest, and subtle hints of sage, white pepper, and a touch of liquorice root.
• Palate: Muscular yet controlled, with a full body framed by beautiful, high-shining acidity. The tannins are fine and polished, extending the length of the wine. It delivers a rich, sapid core of red fruit and balsamic spice.
• Finish: A sensationally complete and abundant finish that is both powerful and refined, assuring excellent longevity.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

To best appreciate its complexity, serve slightly cool at 16°C-18°C (61°F-64°F). Decant for an hour or two before serving.

• Ideal Pairings: A magnificent partner for a classic slow-cooked Venison & Juniper Stew, premium Roast Beef, or mature Italian cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
