About Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco

Bibi Graetz may not have an official enology degree. Bibi Graetz is also not the most theoretical winemaker. But we cannot deny the methodology and perfection that Bibi Graetz pours into each of his wines. Graetz never releases a wine until everything is perfect.

At least that was the story with Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco. This wine, the white version of his successful Bibi Graetz Testamatta, is the result of years of research and work. A lot of research and experimentation has been carried out on Inzolia, also known as Ansonica, the white variety that is typical of the Giglio island, in the Mediterranean (off the coast of Tuscany), where Graetz spent his childhood. That moment, where Graetz remembers the area’s growers coming to the vineyards with their donkeys, was the starting point of this whole process that culminated in 2016, with the first vintage of Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco. Unlike the red, where five plots are blended, Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco is made only from Serrone, a single vineyard in the southeastern part of the island, located on terraces ranging from 60 to 150 metres above sea level. The soil here is very poor and granitic, and the vines are over 100 years old. Today, Bibie Graetz, who loves old vines, owns one of the largest collections of old vines in Tuscany.

With this great heritage, which has to be maintained with the utmost care, there is no other way of working than manually (including harvesting). The grapes are taken to the winery in the municipality of Giglio Castello where they first undergo destemming and then a very gentle pressing with dry ice. Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco also undergoes a very short, gentle maceration for less than 1 hour, but all the must’s contact with the skins will later influence the taste of the wine. After pressing, where the liquid is separated, Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco is cleaned by decanting in a stainless steel tank, where it will be left to settle at low temperatures for about 48 hours. During this time the suspended particles will fall, leaving the liquid much cleaner and ready for fermentation. Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco is racked into new 225-litre barrels to ferment at a temperature of 20°C.

Once converted into wine, Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco is aged on its lees for almost a year, without malolactic fermentation, and bottled without filtering or clarifying.
