Bibi Graetz Testamatta 2020 is an exclusive red wine from Tuscany IGT in Italy, created as a modern Super Tuscan with a focus on finesse, minerality, and terroir. The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese from old vines in high-altitude vineyards with stony soils, which gives it an elegant and transparent expression.

The name Testamatta means “crazy-head” in Italian and reflects Bibi Graetz's creative and passionate approach to winemaking. The 2020 vintage is described by the producer as a special year, where a warm growing season, new vineyard contributions, and improved cellar conditions created optimal conditions for the wine's quality and precision.

In the glass, Testamatta 2020 offers a refined and vibrant aroma with notes of tart cherries, orange peel, herbs, and red berries, while the taste is characterized by fresh acidity, ultrafine tannins, and a juicy, energetic structure. The wine combines depth and complexity with remarkable lightness and drinkability, making it both characterful and elegant.

This Italian red wine from Tuscany is an obvious choice for beef, lamb, game, pasta with rich sauces, and mature cheeses. Bibi Graetz Testamatta 2020 is perfect for those seeking a great wine experience with personality, aging potential, and classic Tuscan nerve. The product is delivered in 75 cl bottles.

95 /100

Bibi Graetz has long been tinkering with his formula for this wine, and this vintage represents a new chapter. The 2020 Testamatta is a blend of Sangiovese from old and new vines, with a priority on cooler growing conditions (and even a few northern exposures). In the wake of climate change, and in the pursuit of elegance, Bibi is changing his approach. He also has a new vineyard property near Fiesole, and the introduction of these grapes (from a breezy, high-elevation site) are what gives Testamatta its beautiful clarity, sharpness and lifted bouquet. The new Fiesole fruit makes up about 30% to 35% of this wine. The results are vibrant, transparent and fresh both in terms of acidity and aromatic intensity. This is a wine in transformation and a wine to watch. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

92 /100

Clear, slightly brightening ruby. Opens with pronounced vegetal notes, like herbal candy, then fresh, tart cherry takes over. Surprisingly clear on the palate with a core of fine raspberry notes supported by tannins of medium structure. There's good drinking flow, but it then appears quite broad-meshed in the finish and unfortunately far removed from the depth and complexity of other vintages.

? /100

Beautiful, fresh aromas of sour cherries, orange peel and lemon bush. Medium-bodied with firm, racy acidity and ultra-fine tannins that add brightness and energy to the wine. This is definitely following the new wave of crunchy, vivid Tuscany sangioveses, which emphasize drinkability and transparency. Lighter than past vintages. Drink now or hold.

James Suckling

93 /100

The subtle nose on this wine releases oak notes first, then cherries, soy sauce, herbs, pencil shavings and erasers, and finally a little orange peel. Graphite and soil come through on the palate alongside more cherries, orange and dried herbs. Tannins hold their shape but let the fruit speak, while acid cuts right down the tongue.

Wine Enthusiast

97 /100

Gloriously jewel-like in colour, understated joyful frame flowing with juicy black cherry, raspberry, mandarin peel, fresh acidities and bounce. Everything feels in high definition, continuing the evolution of Testamatta from its earliest years. Softly brushed tannins that are barely there, extremely easy to recommend, you are going to want to share this wine. Harvest September 24 to October 25, taking things slowly. From a range of plots seen at 400m to 600m altitude across Tuscany, with vines that head up to 80 years old. Natural yeasts, manual punch downs, 10 days maceration and barrel aging with no new oak.

About the grape

Sangiovese

Sangiovese er Italiens mest plantede druesort og hjertet i Toscanas store rødvine – en drue, der formår at balancere saftige kirsebærtoner med rank syre, faste tanniner og en tydelig jordbundet elegance. Dens historiske forankring i Centralitalien, især Toscana, har gjort den til den bærende drue i klassikere som Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino og Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, hvor terroiret træder klart frem i glasset.

Smagen bevæger sig fra sursøde røde kirsebær og sorte stenfrugter til mere urtekrydret udtryk med strejf af tomatblad og tørrede urter; lagring på eg kan give et fyldigere udtryk med noter af blomme og vilde hindbær. Strukturelt kendes Sangiovese for høj syre og faste tanniner, hvilket giver både friskhed, madvenlighed og flot lagringspotentiale.

Sangiovese er samtidig en drue med stor klonal og regional variation, hvilket forklarer, hvorfor kvalitet og stil kan variere fra rank, stenet Chianti til dybt struktureret Brunello. Uden for Toscana findes markante udtryk i bl.a. Emilia‑Romagna, Umbrien og Marche, og i den nye verden eksperimenterer enkelte producenter med stilarter, der fremhæver druens syre og fine bitterhed

Serving

Server ved 15–20°C (ideelt 16–18°C) i store universal‑ eller Bourgogneglas, så aromaerne kan åbne sig og strukturen balanceres
