Description
Like most of Bibi Graetz wines, the name is very evocative. “Casa-Matta”, the “Crazy-House”, Casamatta Rosso reflects the freshness transparency and strength of the red fruit of Sangiovese variety. Entirely vinified in steel in order to preserve its vibrant and playful character.
“This red is my favorite whenever I want a glass of wine. It is a pure, transparent Sangiovese with plenty of cherry and raspberry, nice acidity which helps with food and a round medium body with low tannins and a vibrant and surprising aftertaste.” –Bibi Graetz
2019 was a balanced vintage in line with some of the best harvests we had in the last years. Mild and temperate winter followed by a colder than usual spring with temperatures below seasonal averages. The summer season was hot, very dry and stable. These factors allowed us to have very healthy grapes with a nice level of acidity and sugar. The harvest started later than usual and lasted till the late mid of October.
The fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks to maintain the style of the wine, and it last for no more than a week without maceration at the end of the process. The different vineyards are blended and aged 6 months in stainless steel tanks before the final bottling.
100% Sangiovese
