The 2018 Colore opens with a lively garnet‑ruby colour and an expressive bouquet of wild cherry, blackberry compote, violets, warm spice and a note of wet earth. On the palate it is medium‑to‑full‑bodied, with plush dark fruit balanced by polished tannins and dynamic acidity that gives the wine both drive and elegance. Mid‑palate nuance reveals cocoa dust, licorice root, graphite and a subtle herbaceous twist, reflecting its hillside provenance. The finish is long and refined— cherries and underbrush linger alongside slate‑driven minerality and a gentle smokiness. This magnum format enhances its layering and ageing potential, making it accessible now with decanting yet built to evolve gracefully over the next decade.

Bibi Graetz is a visionary winemaker based in the hills just outside Florence, combining artistic sensibility with meticulous viticulture in Tuscany’s Lamole area. His wines emphasise indigenous varieties—primarily Sangiovese, with touches of Canaiolo and Colorino—and are crafted with ultra‑low yields, hand harvesting, natural ferments and gentle aging to preserve clarity of site and expression. Known for blending tradition and creativity, Graetz produces wines that speak of place yet surprise with elegance and personality. The “Colore” bottling is a signature expression: vibrant, aromatic and finely tuned.
