Bibi Graetz Colore 2019 is a full-bodied red wine from the Tuscany region of central Italy. Brought up in a family of artists, Bibi Graetz didn’t have any formal training in winemaking when he first set up his business in 2000. He’s come a long way. Colore is Bibi’s Gran Vin, from very old vineyards of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Producer note. "Monumental. This is the word that comes to me first to describe this vintage. Roundness in each aspect of the wine. elegance, freshness and a beautiful acidity which brings to each layer an astonishing finesse on the nose and from the first sip. Colore 2019 celebrates my 20th anniversary as a producer. Since 2000, it has been a great journey full of satisfactions, and with this vintage I now close this chapter. Initially, my wines were looking for structure and concentration. In 2009 I realized that “elegance” should have been my common thread. In 2019 it’s done!”

Colore comes from the oldest vineyards of Sangiovese that range up to 135 years, and there is a gentle, unforced complexity to this wine that is deliciously moreish. Expect raspberries, black cherries, rosemary, liquorice, the soft floral aromatics of late-afternoon roses, caressing and silky and giving so much pleasure but not expecting too much of you. You can drink this now with a carafe but it will age, because there is acidity and grip. A lovely wine to slow down to. Bib Graetz’s 20th anniversary, proving again why he is such a compelling figure in Tuscany.Jane Anson6th October 2021

Sweet spices, autumnal leaves, wild strawberries and white smoke hints make the 2019 Colore a total pleasure on the nose. This is wildly energetic and spry with tart wild berries accelerated by zesty acidity. Its fruits are crisp and pure, driven by saline minerality and exotic spices. The 2019 finishes lightly structured and buzzing with residual tension as licorice and balsamic tones slowly fade. This is a radiant beauty and nearly unrecognizable from the old, large-scale stylings of Bibi Graetz. Well done.Eric Guido1st February 2023
