BIBI GRAETZ CASAMATTA BIANCO 2024
From the visionary Bibi Graetz in Tuscany, Italy, the Casamatta Bianco 2024 is a vibrant white blend showcasing coastal terroir. Crafted from Vermentino, Trebbiano, and Ansonica, sourced from vineyards on sandy and limestone soils in Maremma and Elba, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Minimal oak influence preserves its freshness, offering a pale lemon hue and lively complexity.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
Bibi Graetz’s innovative approach defines this wine. The 2024 vintage undergoes gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain aromatic purity. No malolactic fermentation ensures crisp acidity, with brief lees aging adding subtle texture, creating a refreshing, fruit-driven white with immediate appeal and balance.
