How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe Tuscan winery founded in 2000 by the charismatic Bibi Graetz has achieved cult status over the past twenty years. The winery has many enthusiasts with its idiosyncratic wines and artistic labels. This also includes the international wine press, which now annually awards the top wines Colore and Testamatta very high marks.
The Ansonica grapes come from the island of Isola del Giglio, located off the Tuscan coast. The soils here are poor and contain a lot of granite. The sea breeze significantly influences the climate. The grape has different names, namely Inzolia - Insolia - Ansonica The Inzolia grape is an authentic grape from the island of Sicily. It is one of the oldest Sicilian vines. Around 1600, the grape was also transferred to the Tuscan islands of Elba and Giglio. Here the grape was also planted for the production of white wines. In these regions, the grapes are more commonly known as Ansonica. The grapes are destemmed and then gently pressed (with dry ice). The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature to preserve freshness. After blending, the wine continues to mature in stainless steel tanks.
In the glass, the Bibi Graetz Scopeto Bianco has a pale yellow color with white blossom and fennel in the nose. With some waltzes we also smell pear, lime and a light saltiness. This blissful Tuscan white wine is hearty and refreshing with mineral notes. Delicious with tagliatelle with cream and shrimps.

This wine will not be imported into the United States until 2019. The 2017 Scopeto Isola del Giglio is a blend of 70% Ansonica and 30% Vermentino (vinified in stainless steel). Only 2,000 bottles were made. The bouquet opens to an intense and compelling succession of floral and yellow fruit aromas that span from honeysuckle and rose to peach, passion fruit and cantaloupe melon. Of course, you also get those salty or briny notes that come so naturally to wines made from sea-facing vineyards on the island of Giglio. The wine finishes on a dry and decisive note that keeps the palate refreshed.

Plenty of mango and papaya character on the nose and a palate with hints of lemon rind. Medium to full body. Flavorful and rich. Dense and layered. Made from ansonica and vermentino grown on the island of Giglio off the Tuscan Coast. A new wine from Bibi Graetz.

More information about Bibi Greatz
Bibi comes from a family of artists, until he himself decided to take a different path and left the winemaker profession behind. He bought an 8 hectare vineyard with 60 year old vines. Today Graetz is one of the biggest names in Tuscany. The labels on the bottles show that Bibi Graetz comes from an artistic family, as he painted the images on the labels himself. The wines are rare and limited. Testamatta production from just 10,000 bottles per year.
Bleekgeel en fris van stijl met geuren van witte bloesem en venkel, tonen van peer, limoen en een prettige ziltige mineraliteit die het droog en levendig houdt. Daardoor vormt deze Scopeto Bianco een perfecte partner voor witte vis en schelpdieren, omdat de frisse zuren en het zeeachtige karakter zeevruchten niet overheersen maar juist opfrissen, en hij werkt ook uitstekend bij romige pasta's met garnalen of bij lichte pizza's met zeevruchten. Kies voor eenvoudige bereidingen zoals grillen of bakken met citroen en verse kruiden, kort gestoofde of knoflookroomsaus bij pasta, of rauwe bereidingen als ceviche of oesters om de minerale en fruitige nuances maximaal te laten spreken.
