BIBI GRAETZ 'Soffocone di Vincigliata' Rosso - Toscana IGT 2023 Bottle

Description

A stunning pure Sangiovese, sourced from the historic vineyards overlooking Florence in Fiesole. The wine’s provocative name, Soffocone, is a local Florentine slang term for a blowjob - a cheeky, irreverent nod to the romantic encounters that historically took place in the secluded fields surrounding the Vincigliata vineyard. This bold naming reflects Graetz’s artistic and unconventional approach to winemaking.

In the glass, the 2023 vintage offers a sophisticated profile of wild cherries, violets, and earthy minerals. The palate is characterised by silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that reflects its high-altitude terroir. By blending bold cultural wit with refined craftsmanship, Graetz delivers a Rosso that is as memorable for its playful history as it is for its elegant, structured finish.
