Bibi Graetz spent on Isola del Giglio his childhood where he experienced the unique viticulture of the island. Testamatta Bianco was born thanks to the stories and knowledge the old farmers told him every morning while going to the vineyards together with their donkeys. After many years of research and hard work, selecting our white wines from the Ansonica grapes of the island, we realized we were ready to close the circle of Testamatta, producing alongside the red, the white version. Testamatta Bianco, produced for the first time in 2016, has already become a benchmark for white wines in Italy.

The handpicked grape was carried in small baskets to the winery, located in the centre of the island in Giglio Castello. After the destemming process and a very soft pressing with dry-ice, we left the skins with the juice for less than 1 hour. After this short period of maceration the must was decanted for approximately 48 hours at low temperature in stainless steel tanks and then moved to new 225L barriques for the alcoholic fermentation at 20°C. After the fermentation the wine aged with the lees for 12 months, without any malolactic fermentation and then bottled.
