Tasting profile

Juicy and fruit-forward, elegant, with a generous character.

Label / history

Casamatta is made by Bibi Graetz, an artist with a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts, who grew up in a family of artists. The winery is in Fiesole. Graetz owns 4 hectares of vineyards and rents a further 10.5 hectares. Apart from the white "Casamata", all his wines are made from native Tuscan grape varieties. His favourite wine, Testamatta, takes its name from a phrase meaning "crazy head".
