Colore 2012 Vintage Overview

2012 OVERVIEW

Colore 2012 shows a poised, almost chiselled side of Bibi Graetz’s usually opulent style, with vivid red and black cherries, wild berries and dried flowers layered over cedar, tobacco and a stony, ferrous edge. The palate is full in flavor yet sleek in texture, driven by bright acidity and fine, velvety tannins that keep the wine tight, focused and long rather than heavy. This vintage feels powerful but disciplined, with a compact core that promises even more nuance with a few more years in bottle.

About Colore

Colore is the flagship, micro‑selection Sangiovese of Bibi Graetz, a Tuscan “Supertuscan” IGT crafted from very old, high‑altitude vines rooted in poor, sandy, stony soils around Lamole, Vincigliata, Olmo and Siena. Traditionally fermented in open barriques and aged around 20 months, it’s known for its depth, energy and layered red‑berry, floral and mineral character, and has become one of Italy’s most sought‑after modern cult wines.
