Bibi Graetz TESTAMATTA 2016 Toscana 畢比格雷茲《風土系酒款 - TI953B 》

BibiGraetz 酒莊成立於 2000 年，因為坐落在 Fiesole 山上，並俯瞰佛羅倫薩，令在藝術家世家成長且畢業於美術學院的 Bibi,也慢慢地愛上了葡萄酒，最後更決定以此為生, 把自己的藝術天份和創作熱情發揮得淋漓盡致。

Bibi 對古老的葡萄藤份外著迷；他格外欣賞古老葡萄藤的精細和純粹度，因此Bibi Graetz 的莊園中也成了托斯卡納最大的古老葡萄園之一。

除了份外熱愛老藤外, Bibi也執著地栽種托斯卡納本土品如 Sangiovese、Canaiolo 和 Colorino . 所以, 總括而言, 老藤、高海拔、貧瘠的石質土壤和自然葡萄栽培便成了Bibi釀酒的理念，旨在充分反映每個葡萄園的風土。

“Testamatta”的意思為 “Crazy Head”,正可說是形容 BibiGraetz 的最佳形容詞：一個積極富有創造力, 但又極度執著和充滿熱情的人。 Testamatta 葡萄酒表達了來自山頂老葡萄園的桑嬌維塞的純度、礦物質和透明度，其特點是土壤富含石頭。

為了展示他的藝術天份, 酒莊的酒標皆由Bibi親自設計和繪製, 有如藝術品般充滿魅力, 自2000年釀出首個年份後, 他那富藝術感的出品便廣受酒評界的好評, 並且頻頻獲得酒評家的青睞,如Robert Parker, James Suckling, WineSpectator等權威都為他的出品給予不俗的高分, 日本著名漫畫 <神之水滴>更讚頌Bibi Graetz為 “意大利葡萄酒界的英雄”, 可想而知Bibi Graetz的出品是何等出色啦!

James Sucking : Bibi Graetz釀造出真正的托斯卡尼膜拜酒而且熱衷於使用老滕葡萄，那100%的Sangiovese,流著勃根地特級園的血液，讓人不禁聯想到DRC的La Tache!

Robert Parker : 我不斷對Bibi Graetz的葡萄酒感到驚艷，極度的珍貴而且罕見，出品充滿情感令人一試難忘.

 A very beautiful and thoughtful Testamatta with aromas of earth, terra cotta, black tea, and lavender. Full-bodied, very layered and extremely polished with superb, soft tannins. Racy and very long. Muscular and formed but very, very balanced. Gorgeous richness and depth. Shows balance and wonder.

The 2016 Testamatta represents a blend of fruit from old vines spread across the various vineyard holdings farmed by Bibi Graetz in both the Siena and Firenze provinces of Tuscany. These holdings include plots in Vincigliata (home base to Bibi Graetz and his family just outside of Florence), Lamole, Londa, Montefili and Siena. Many of the vines used here are 80 years old or more, and each site represents a cultural and enological patrimony that was specifically selected for its individual character or uniqueness. There is an unescapable metaphor in the many primary colors that blend or bleed into each other to form a single piece of art that is depicted on the front label of this handsome bottle. Testamatta reaches impeccable harmony in similar fashion. I tasted this wine on three separate occasions and was blown away each time. There is a seductively wild side to the wine that comes forth with chiseled intensity. Dark fruit, spice, tar, licorice and toasted spice make for a beautifully elegant bouquet. The mouthfeel remains mid-weight in approach, with polished tannins and a tightly knit texture that should relax and grow in volume as the wine evolves in the bottle.

A focused, linear style, this red features cherry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors, with a hint of wild scrub in the aroma, all matched to a firm, well-integrated structure. Tightens up on the finish, remaining long and detailed. 

🏅Jancis Robinson 18/20 pts

A beautiful nose, a purity of red fruits and tea leaf. The fruit is extremely well extracted – soft and sublimely fine tannins. This feels like a wine that is brimming with vivacity and life – red fruits that have such elegance and refinement.
