Tasting Notes

The subtle nose opens with oak, then moves into cherry, savory soy, dried herbs, and a hint of orange peel. On the palate, graphite and soil underscore more cherry and citrus-tinged notes, with tannins holding their shape as bright acidity drives the finish.

Food Paring

Pair with tomato-based pasta (ragù, amatriciana) or grilled pork to let the acidity cut through richness and keep flavors lively. It also works well with herb-roasted mushrooms or eggplant dishes, echoing the earthy, savory tones.

Professional Reviews

95 Wine Advocate

"Bibi Graetz has long been tinkering with his formula for this wine, and this vintage represents a new chapter. The 2020 Testamatta is a blend of Sangiovese from old and new vines, with a priority on cooler growing conditions (and even a few northern exposures). In the wake of climate change, and in the pursuit of elegance, Bibi is changing his approach. He also has a new vineyard property near Fiesole, and the introduction of these grapes (from a breezy, high-elevation site) are what gives Testamatta its beautiful clarity, sharpness and lifted bouquet. The new Fiesole fruit makes up about 30% to 35% of this wine. The results are vibrant, transparent and fresh both in terms of acidity and aromatic intensity. This is a wine in transformation and a wine to watch."
