RP96 Colore is a red wine made by Bibi Graetz from the oldest Sangiovese vines available in Tuscany, Italy. Colore is a pure expression of Sangiovese, all sourced from old vines that are carefully selected in various parts of Tuscany. Much of the fruit comes from a cool, elevated site in Lamole, or from 70-year-old vines in Bagno a Ripoli or Vincigliata near Fiesole. A small percentage of old Olmo vines are also used. Bibi has a preference for old vines, and you can taste the lovely depth and complexity that comes through in the Colore. Compared to their other wine Testamatta, this wine has seen fewer stylistic changes over the years, and the goal has always been elegance and finesse. Colore has a fairly luminous quality with aromas of black fruits and wild berries. There are also hints of licorice and mint. Mineral flavors and bright acidity are what set Colore apart.
