The company is particularly known for its flagship wine Testamatta ('Crazy Head'), an IGT Toscana produced from Sangiovese. The estate took its modern shape in the mid 1990s when Bibi Graetz began taking an interest in the family vineyard, which until then was largely producing wine for family consumption. By 2001, Graetz had moved towards a more quality-oriented outlook, and began scouting out additional vineyard parcels in the area to rent. The estate now has approximately 30 hectares (75 acres) of vines that are divided into small, organically farmed plots. Graetz makes a range of IGT Toscana wines under the Testamatta name. This includes Colore, a blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino, and Soffocone di Vincigliata, a single-vineyard wine that has gained notoriety for its name, which is local slang for a particular sex act. Several white wines are also made at the estate. These include Bugia, an IGT Toscana made from old vine Ansonica and fermented partly in barrique prior to six months of aging.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-03T17:48:43-04:00","created_at":"2023-03-25T08:46:08-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","nini2703","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Bibi Graetz","Region_Toscana IGT","Source_Hedonism0323","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Chianti Blend"],"price":84295,"price_min":84295,"price_max":84295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42869738438794,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Bibi Graetz | Colore Toscana IGT","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":84295,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/70_6c64ee8f-e99a-4ce0-b82f-f27b5d8c0c2a.png?v=1679748402"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/70_6c64ee8f-e99a-4ce0-b82f-f27b5d8c0c2a.png?v=1679748402","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Bibi Graetz | Colore Toscana IGT at CaskCartel.com","id":24473333727370,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.35,"height":879,"width":308,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/70_6c64ee8f-e99a-4ce0-b82f-f27b5d8c0c2a.png?v=1679748402"},"aspect_ratio":0.35,"height":879,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/70_6c64ee8f-e99a-4ce0-b82f-f27b5d8c0c2a.png?v=1679748402","width":308}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed  Wine: 2018 | Bibi Graetz | Colore Toscana IGT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose has piercing aromas of cherries, red berries, flowers, fresh herbs, and some earthy notes.
