"Bibi Graetz is one of Italy's most compelling and visionary winemakers." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
"One of Tuscany's cult producers." - Decanter Magazine
Bibi Graetz is a one-off; an artist turned winemaker, whose Tuscan wines bear little resemblance to those of his conventional neighbours. From his base in Fiesole, north east of Florence, he is revered for transforming old-vine Sangiovese and ancient Ansonica (on the island of Giglio) into some of Italy's most coveted wines. Bibi Graetz has earned a cult following worldwide and with tiny production, strict allocations and flagship wines such as Testamatta and Colore considered some of the greatest wines in Italy, opportunities to explore the range in depth are exceptionally rare.
Join Rob for a relaxed and intimate dinner at a'Mare for a hand-selected selection of Bibi Graetz's wines with the restaurant's outstanding Italian fare. Together you'll explore the stories behind these remarkable wines, from the granite terraces of Giglio Island to Tuscany's oldest hillside vineyards, discovering why Bibi Graetz has become one of the defining names in modern Italian wine.
Places are strictly limited and early booking is highly recommended.
