2011 Bibi Graetz Casamatta Toscano Bianco

Bibi Graetz’ “Casamatta” Toscano Bianco is Vermentino-based blend, with the balance Moscato Bianco and Trebbiano. It’s an insanely delicious wine from one of Tuscany’s most insane winemakers. We love the wines of Bibi Graetz and his Testamata winery. The lovely 2010 vintage of Casamatta really wowed us with its freshness and vivacity, and the newly arrived 2011 promises more deliciousness. It’s got that same alluring aroma of peach, citrus blossom, and wet stones, with herb accents and an unctuous saline quality to the finish. Crisp and clean with mouthwatering acidity, it makes a refreshing aperitif or tasty pairing with light salads and antipasti.

2011 Bibi Graetz Rosso Tuscany

“Casamatta,” or “crazy house,” is Bibi Graetz’s creation of a Tuscan-style house wine that is, contrary to its whimsical name, consistently refreshing and seriously delicious. Characterized by balanced acidity and bright, forward fruit, these are uncomplicated, natural wines that are meant to complement foods, require no further aging and are totally accessible and enjoyable upon release. 100% Sangiovese. Shows the earthy side of Sangiovese, with loam, iron, cherry and plum flavors. A juicy wine, with upfront fruit and light tannins.
