Colore 2016 Vintage Overview

2016 OVERVIEW

Dark-toned cherry and blackberry pulse at the core of the 2016 Bibi Graetz Colore, wrapped in fine, chalky tannins and scented with blood orange, dried flowers, leather and a touch of wild herbs. The palate is concentrated yet taut and vertical rather than lush, with great clarity of fruit and a long, savory, almost saline finish that promises real complexity with further cellaring.

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.
