Fabulous aromas of strawberries, orange zest and orange blossom. So pure on the nose. Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with intense linear tannins that are ultra-fine in texture. It's fresh and salty with a brightness and focus. Minerally and crisp. pH is 3.4 highlighting the strength of the acidity. Crunchy. Salty. So delicious now but this age will be incredibly well. ~ 98 James Suckling

(100% Sangiovese from north-facing vineyards at around 500m above sea level, 13.5% alcohol, 120,000 bottles produced) Ruby red, beautiful sheen. Open nose, predominantly red fruit, spices, herbs, lots of sour cherries, wild strawberries, licorice, also a touch of cool smoke, complex, playful, fresh, no signs of overripeness. On the palate, delicate, elegant, precise, top balance of delicate fruit and very good structure, the tannins are fine-grained, good acidity supports and lends freshness, it dances across the tongue and finishes with very good length on a spicy, red-fruited finale. A Burgundian Tuscan that impresses with freshness and elegance, not power and opulence. Enjoy now until 2040+. ~ 95 Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch

The 2021 'Testamatta' is produced from Sangiovese, utilizing vines that are roughly 40-50 years of age. Right now this is really delicious and savory, as the 'Testamatta' often needs many years in the bottle to fully unravel. The shades of dark truffles really entice on the nose, alongside wild blackberry, worn leather and plenty of damp earth notes. The palate is soft and inviting with a smooth texture and gorgeous sense of length. Really good to consume now — especially after an hour in the decanter — this beauty will surely live on for another fifteen plus years to come. ~95 Owen Bargreen

The nose starts light and sweet, with aromas of vanilla and cedar, before getting richer with notes of cherries and candied orange. An undertone of fresh soil blooms on the palate, beneath a starburst of cherries and strawberries. Silky tannins invite you in now, while lively acid suggests you should also return in a few years for more fun. ~ 95 Wine Enthusiast

The 2021 Testamatta is entirely Sangiovese from 35- to 50-year-old vines and translates to "crazy-head." It offers a jeweled ruby color and has a lovely bouquet on opening, with pure notes of kirsch, blood orange, dusty earth, coriander, and rose petals. It continues to the palate with a seamless feel, revealing a medium-bodied frame with fine tannins, a refreshingly weightless feel, and an elegantly long and balanced finish. Graceful and pure throughout, this lovely wine will benefit from cellaring as it matures to reveal its more tertiary and savory tones, although it sure is beautiful now. ~95 Jeb Dunnuck

From a vintage I really love comes the Bibi Graetz 2021 Testamatta. This wine has dark fruit, cherry, powdered chocolate and chalky mineral. This vintage represents a turning point for this eccentric vintner who decided to change styles and focus on the red fruits and high notes. Nonetheless, this wine delivers good freshness and balance, and I like it better than the 2020 vintage that Bibi himself prefers. To me, the 2021 has more vertical freshness. ~ 95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A pure, resonant red, with strawberry, cherry, rose, wild thyme, black pepper and mineral aromas and flavors. Though taut and linear now, this offers a center of ripe fruit, terrific balance and a long aftertaste of fruit, herb and mineral notes. Drink now through 2035. 1,833 cases imported. ~ 94 Wine Spectator

Bright ruby ​​red with flint core. Youthful and fresh nose, floral, with violets and fresh cherries, light pepper spice and vegetal touch. Juicy on the palate, with vivid acidity, plus clear fruit in the mid-palate, juicy in the finish too. ~ 93 Falstaff
