Bibi Graetz Bugia
Toscana IGT, Tuscany
2017 has been a very dry vintage in mainland Tuscany, only few days of rain during the vegetative development in spring and almost none during summer. Those conditions are the normality on the island of Giglio, the vines are prepared and the deep roots grants sufficient access to the resources. 2017 tends to be considered a very nice vintage for the Island of Giglio especially for the concentration and the structure.
Tasting Notes
“I love the expression of terroir coming out from this wine. I can feel the minerality of the granite soil of the island, the salt of the sea and the dryness of the wind. This wine is the island in a bottle.” --Bibi Graetz
