Product details
Hailing from the visionary hands of Bibi Graetz, this 2020 expression is a masterful reflection of precision and artistry. Drawn from four exceptional high-altitude vineyards—Lamole, Vincigliata, Olmo, and Siena—each site contributes its own unique nuances, nurtured by ancient vines rooted in sandy, stony soils. The combination of warm summer days and cool nighttime breezes in 2020 allowed the fruit to ripen fully while retaining remarkable aromatic clarity. Each cluster was harvested selectively over multiple passes, followed by meticulous hand sorting and gentle pressing, ensuring only the most expressive fruit shaped the final blend. Aging in seasoned barriques for 20 months enhanced depth and elegance, while keeping parcels separate preserved the distinctive character of each vineyard, culminating in a refined, harmonious expression.
The sensory profile is richly layered and engaging. The color is deep ruby with garnet highlights, while the bouquet reveals an intricate mix of red cherries, wild berries, and dried flowers, accented by subtle spice, earthy notes, and a touch of leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dynamic, guided by vibrant natural acidity and finely integrated structure. Flavors of ripe red fruits unfold alongside delicate mineral undertones, creating complexity and focus, and the finish is long, balanced, and harmonious. This is an elegant, layered expression that embodies both precision and expressive richness.
