Testamatta Rosso: The Pure Elegance of Tuscan Sangiovese

The Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso is the iconic ‘Super Tuscan’ from one of Italy’s most innovative winemakers. Made from 100% old-vine Sangiovese grown on ancient, high-altitude parcels around Fiesole, this wine is a stunning testament to the purity and potential of the indigenous Tuscan grape. It is a wine of artistry, complexity, and exceptional longevity, making it a stellar addition to any cellar.

Detailed Tasting Profile

• Colour: Translucent, brilliant ruby-red.
• Bouquet: A complex nose of intense red fruit-think bruised cherries, raspberry, and prune-intertwined with savoury notes of graphite, liquorice, new leather, and a hint of mint.
• Mouthfeel: Elegantly structured and medium-bodied. The palate is driven by a vibrant, racy acidity that is beautifully balanced by polished, fine-grained tannins. It is persistent and pure, showcasing a mineral-driven core that will evolve magnificently with bottle age.

Food Matching & Service

A wine for a special occasion and rich, slow-cooked meats. Best served between 16°C and 18°C. Decanting is strongly advised.

• Food Matches: Traditional Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary, Venison Casserole, Game Pie, Mature Hard Cheeses (e.g., Mature Cheddar or Parmigiano Reggiano).
