2020 Bibi Graetz Testamatta Toscana
A high-definition Super Tuscan built around pure Sangiovese: red-fruited lift, polished Tuscan structure, old-vine depth, and the vivid mineral line that makes Testamatta feel unmistakably alive at the table.
The kind of buy that turns a flagship Tuscan bottle into a dinner, gifting, and cellar decision.
Save $480 vs winery / sixScore credibility with the texture to back it up.
The appeal here is precision rather than mass: bright cherry fruit, savory tannin, saline detail, and a polished Tuscan frame that gives the wine enough elegance for guests and enough substance for the cellar.
The value is not subtle. It is structural.
Flagship Tuscan energy, reframed for the table.
At $45, Testamatta is no longer just a special-occasion bottle. It becomes the rare kind of buy that can work three ways at once: open one with dinner, give one with confidence, and lay the rest down.
The math matters because the identity is already there: a recognized Tuscan producer, serious score stack, pure Sangiovese character, and a bottle that feels refined rather than inflated.
Bibi Graetz: artistic Tuscan instinct, serious cellar discipline.
Testamatta is the pure-Sangiovese statement: expressive without being heavy, modern without losing its Tuscan pulse, and built around the kind of clarity that lets old vines and stony hillsides speak.
The result is a wine with lift, detail, and personality—less about weight, more about line, energy, and a savory finish that keeps asking for food.
Stony hills, native grape, and a fine-boned Tuscan spine.
Testamatta sits in the modern Super Tuscan conversation while remaining firmly rooted in Sangiovese. Expect red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herb, and mineral grip rather than dark, glossy weight.
That profile is exactly why the wine is so useful: acidity for richness, tannin for protein, freshness for herbs and tomato, and enough polish to feel elegant on the table.
Silky, savory, and built for a proper decant.
The 2020 leans into red-fruit purity and savory tension: cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, a salt-edged mineral note, and fine tannins that stay firm without turning rustic.
Give it air and the wine becomes more expressive. The table pairing is not an afterthought here—it is the point.
How to make the bottle show its best.
Treat it like a serious Sangiovese: give it air, keep the serving temperature in check, and let food bring out the savory side of the wine.
Two pairings that make the wine feel inevitable.
Char, olive oil, aged cheese, mushrooms, herbs, and red-wine depth all make sense with Testamatta. These pairings keep the wine in its natural habitat: polished Italian cooking with real texture.
Bistecca ai Ferri with Arugula + Parmesan
Charred beef gives the tannin something to hold; peppery arugula, lemon, olive oil, and shaved Parmesan pull out the wine’s lift, salt, and savory red-fruit detail.

Wild Mushroom + Red Wine Risotto
Mushroom umami and red-wine depth echo the bottle’s earthy-mineral side, while Sangiovese acidity keeps the risotto bright, savory, and beautifully balanced.
