A fantastic wine, takes what you think about Super Tuscans and turns it on its head - this is an IGT Toscana label from a cult name with a high price tag, and yet instead of over-concentration and oak you get finesse, nuance, jewel-like cherry colour and clarity of flavour, rippled through wih orange peel, raspberry, red cherry, finesse, wih juicy but structured tannins. An excellent vintage overall, with a dry sunny summer and September, allowing a harvest that stretched from September 28 to November 2. This was the first year when Bibi began expanding the vineyard, sourcing more old vines and moving towards the six vineyard sites that he uses today. You can wait with this wine, but it is definitely in the sweet spot for beginning to drink. Fermented with natural yeasts, aged in oak casks and neutral barrels for 20 months.

Testamatta 2015 is a very delicious Sangiovese expression: textured and vertical, it shows ripe cherry and creamy raspberry and strawberry fruits, demonstrating excellent balance and freshness with good fruit concentration. Black pepper, earth and potpourri notes emerge on the long finish. Around 60,000 bottles produced.

A rich version, with a layer of oak and flavors of black cherry, plum and underbrush. Stays firm through the tobacco-tinged finish, yet there is ample fruit here. Sangiovese. Best from 2020 through 2032. 1,500 cases imported.
