Product Notes

Bibi Graetz Casamatta Rosso is an exceptional blend of Italian red wine. Made from a combination of grapes including Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, and Ciliegiolo, this wine has a deep red color and a complex aroma. The palate is full of rich flavors of red fruit, cherry, and a spicy finish with a slight hint of oak. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a wide variety of dishes, including rich meat dishes, pasta, and strong cheeses. The wine’s balanced acidity and tannins make it ideal for cellaring, allowing it to age beautifully and improve in taste over time. Bibi Graetz Casamatta Rosso is truly a masterpiece of Italian winemaking.

Tasting Notes

This wine is fruity and fresh but at the same time still a true expression of Sangiovese. This is a medium-bodied, juicy red offers plenty of dark red fruit in an accessible style underpinned with a bright accent of acidity.

About the Winery

Bibi Graetz

Bibi Graetz is one of the classic Italian wines to have been founded recently. This label was established in 2000 in a beautiful hilly region of Fiesole, located on top of Florence. Though he was born in a family of art lovers, Bibi was quite keen on winemaking right from a young age, and turned his passion into a profession in 2000, when he set up his own wine label.

Bibi’s parents had acquired a medieval castle, Castello di Vincigliata over 60 years ago. Bibi started making his wines from a small 5-acre vineyard in this castle. Though this label has only two decades of winemaking experience, it is currently one of the most loved and imaginative wines today in the country. Apart from being a great artist, Bibi now dons the role of “cult winemaker” quite easily.

Though he didn’t have any professional or formal training to make wines, Bibi has been relying on his intuitions and expert team to make some of the most scintillating Tuscan wines. When he created the Testamatta and Colore wines, he created a revolution in the Italian wine industry. During the 1990s, almost all leading wine publications spoke highly of Bibi Graetz wines, because of the brand’s unique approach to winemaking. 

The parcels, from where the reds and whites are selected, play a huge role in the complexity, depth and intensity of the wines produced under this label. Bibi chooses the reds from some of the oldest vines in Tuscany, while he chooses the whites from the old vines in Isola del Giglio. Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo are the red varietals used, while indigenous whites, such as Ansonica and Vermentino, are used to create Bibi Graetz wines. Bibi’s passion for making wines from traditional varieties of reds and whites has led to the label producing some of the most distinctive wines of Tuscany.
