The story
Bibi Graetz, with an artistic background, transformed his connection with the vineyards around the Castello di Vincigliata into a winemaking project launched at the turn of the millennium; the work developed through the restoration of old vineyards and collaboration with experienced winemakers in the early stages. His estate and wines have received international attention since their first years of production.
