View analysis
Description
Like most of Bibi Graetz wines, the name is very evocative, “CasaMatta” means “Crazy-House”, Casamatta Bianco is a wine coming from Argentario, in the south Tuscan coast that tells a lot about traditional vines and old vineyards. A fresh, crunchy and sapid blend that brings with it the sea breeze.
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Eric Guido
The 2023 Bianco Casamatta opens in the glass with an airy blend of yellow apples, mint leaf, crushed stone and peach sorbet. It’s silken and elegant on the palate, with medium-bodied weight and notable purity as ripe orchard fruits swirl beneath an air of confectionary spice. This cleans up beautifully, long and crisp with a subtle lemony concentration and a salty mineral bite.
