Bibi Graetz Colore 2016 (3x75cl OWC)

Description

By Owen Bargreen in 2020 (OB96)

he ‘Colore’ is a silky blend of 80% Sangiovese with equal parts Canaiolo and Colorino. This barrel selection wine is sourced from quite different districts (Lamole in Chianti Classico, Vincigliata near Florence and Siena province in the southern part of Tuscany). There is a marvelous purity of fruit aromatically with the intense red fruits that collide with suggestions of tar, leather, and dusty terroir that take their shape in the glass. The palate is exceedingly refined with velvety tannins and a downright sexy texture. Rich red and dark fruits dance with the mouth-watering acidity, minerals, cigar ash, and shades of white pepper infused cocoa powder on the palate. Exceedingly good in its youth, this beautiful wine will only gets better with time.
