Bibi Graetz 2020 Casamatta Vermentino
Like most of Bibi Graetz wines, the name is very evocative, "Casa-Matta" 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
