A tasting will be dedicated to the press and the operators, always on Tuesday 4th June, degustating old vintages of Colore, flagship wine of the company that recalls, for its elegance, complexity and harmony, the wines of Burgundy.

Testamatta Bibi Graetz (www.bibigraetz.com), which produces 80,000 bottles annually, is owned by Bibi Graetz, an artist by birth and winemaker by choice. After studying at the Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts, he was fascinated by the world of wine, which is now an integral part of his life. It all began in the vineyard of Florence, Vincigliata, a few kilometers from Florence. With only two and a half hectares of land planted with vines located in the estate of the castle of Vincigliata, Graetz began producing the first bottles in 2000, venturing into a very interesting path that has made him famous worldwide. Currently, he manages 50 hectares of vineyards located among Vincigliata, Fiesole, Bagno a Ripoli, Pontefract, Rufina, San Casciano, Panzano, Montefili Lamole, Siena, Isola del Giglio, Elba Island.

Among the most renowned wines of the company we can mention Testamatta IGT, 100% Sangiovese, Soffocone di Vincigliata IGT, 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo or Colorino, Colore, blend of Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo, and La Bugia, by Ansonica, "daughter" of a heroic cultivation on Isola del Giglio, where Bibi Graetz produces since 2002. A lover of old vines, he manages to get the best from land that cultivates with extreme passion and competence. He himself, in fact, deals with both the agronomic part and the cellar.

A result of his artistic soul are the labels, pictures painted by Bibi Graetz by himself, accompanying wines in Italy and in the world.
