Testamatta, Italian for `crazy head`, is the Tuscan Sangiovese of Bibi Graetz, who is based in Fiesole above Florence; this is the 2007 in magnum. Tasting it in January 2010, Falstaff found a deep ruby wine with ripe dark cherry, blackberry and a touch of sealing wax on the nose, then a powerful, full-bodied palate with plenty of rich tannin, a sweet core and a finish of cherry confit. Wine Advocate thought it unusually soft and accessible for a young Testamatta. Bistecca alla fiorentina.

Graetz’s 2007 Testamatta is soft and seamless as it flows onto the palate, revealing a silky, luxurious expression of fruit. The tannins are remarkably soft and well balanced, which makes the 2007 one of the most accessible young Testamattas I can recall tasting. Floral tones on the finish add a touch of brightness and lift on the close. While the 2007 isn’t overly complex or powerful, it does offer superb balance and delivers plenty of pleasure, even at this early stage. This is first-class juice. Anticipated maturity. 2010-2022. - Antonio Galloni
