Bibi Graetz Bollamatta Rosa Sparkling Wine 750 ML

Introduction

This beautiful sparkling wine comprised of 100% Sangiovese has a medium-body and is perfectly balanced with fresh fruity notes and acidity. Producer Information Bibi Graetz is a Tuscan wine producer based in Fiesole, in the hills northeast of Florence. The company is particularly known for its IGT Toscana red wines Testamatta (‘Crazy Head’) and Colore produced from Sangiovese. However, the equivalent white wines from Ansonica are earning increasing attention. The estate’s history dates back to the mid 1990s when Bibi Graetz began taking an interest in the family vineyard, which until then was largely producing wine for family consumption. The Bibi Graetz winery was formed in 2000. In the new millenium Bibi began scouting out additional vineyard parcels in the area to rent. The estate entered the 2020s working with approximately 30 hectares (75 acres) of vines that are divided into small, organically farmed plots. The winery is located in the main square of Fiesole and also home to Bibi and his family. The vineyard holdings are about to be dramatically extended, however. In 2020, 90 hectares (222 acres) of land right behind the winery was acquired. New vineyards have been planted on this property. Bibi grew up in a family of artists and himself studied at the Accademie d’Arte in Florence. Labels feature his colorful original artwork.
