Tasting notes
The 2009 Bugia flows across the palate with elegant layers of fruit. Soft and textured throughout, the Bugia shows excellent finesse and length in a fairly ripe style for this wine. The finish is quite round, but also a touch heavy.

The 2009 Bugia flows across the palate with elegant layers of fruit. Soft and textured throughout, the Bugia shows excellent finesse and length in a fairly ripe style for this wine. The finish is quite round, but also a touch heavy. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. I am perplexed by this set of wines from Bibi Graetz. Quality is inconsistent throughout the range, most disappointingly in the higher end bottlings. Various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.

About the producer

Based just outside Florence, Bibi Graetz is something of a maverick in the Tuscan wine scene. Working with old vineyards of indigenous grapes around Chianti, he produces intense wines classified as IGT Toscana; not fitting neatly in either the Super Tuscan or Chianti camp.
