Mission Codename This is not a Test-a-matta

If 40% OFF isn’t big enough…

Or a trio of 96-97 points scores doesn’t raise eyebrows.

We have a pulse-quickening, special limited offer to layer on top. Because we LOVE our Operatives.

For every full case of 12 bottles you buy via this link we throw in a MAGNUM (worth $250) of the same wine for just $1.

ONE DOLLAR. That the pesky pencil pushers who make laws say we can’t give away wine. But $1 still seems like a good deal, right?

And it gets better.

Shipping is on the house! There is one tiny catch, however. We can only do this while supplies of the mags last.

There isn’t much of the 750s either, even if you are not into the A $250 WORTH MAG SHIPPED FREE FOR JUST A BUCK idea, this cult Italian will go fast. Even if you miss out or pass on the craziest promo we ever ran, count yourself among the lucky few to get one of Italy’s top Supers at this the lowest price in the galaxy.

Testamatta by Bibi Graetz is THE Tuscan wine to own. Bibi is an artist whose parents just happened to own a castle overlooking Florence with some primo plantings. Long story short, he decided to take a crack at making wine. And today, Testamatta represents one of Italy’s best wines. Period. End of story.

It’s a perennial high scorer (many 100 points) and coveted by oenophiles around the world. That we have ANY is a feat in itself, but to offer it at this price?! You just love to see it. Antonio Galloni does too: “I continue to be impressed with the beautiful, highly singular, expressive wines of Bibi Graetz.”

James Suckling echoes that “Bibi Graetz is an iconoclastic Tuscan winemaker who takes a unique approach to winemaking… looks for richness, yet finesse, and great length and depth in his wines. His wines age really well, even though the first vintage of Testamatta was 2000. Graetz has an affinity for old vines, particularly indigenous grape types such as Sangiovese, Colorino, and Colore. There’s always a touch of genius in his reds…”

And their 20th Anniversary vintage, is *truly special. 100% Sangiovese, sourced from 50–80-year old blocks. We’ll just borrow from Decanter “Layered and complex this is a gem of a wine filled with cherry, raspberry, damson and caramel notes alongside a savoury edge that makes it so moreish.”

MOREISH, is how we like our deals. Seize the dollar Mags!

97 Points – James Suckling

“Very attractive combination of dried fruit and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too. Full-bodied and very refined, yet intense, with plush, velvety tannins that are wonderfully integrated and intertwined with the fruit. Ripe center palate. Tight at the end, suggesting the need for some serious bottle age. Very structured. Try after 2025.”

96 Points – Decanter

“The 20th Anniversary bottling of Testamatta made, from the 2019 vintage, in brand new winemaking facilities in Florence. This just shines from the moment it’s poured. Layered and complex this is a gem of a wine filled with cherry, raspberry, damson and caramel notes alongside a savoury edge that makes it so moreish. Tannins that support but don’t overwhelm give a nice overall weight to the palate while the flavous linger on the long finish. Made from old vines on stony soils on the Tuscan hilltops. Grapes are selected and sourced from the best five vineyards, which are divided into parcels and harvested up to eight times. Fermentation is in open-top barriques for the smaller parcels and in barrels or stainless steel for the larger ones without any temperature controls. Maceration for 7-10 days then moved into old barriques for 20 months. Drink 2024-2045.”

96 Points – Fallstaff

“Sparkling ruby, luminous. Intense and appealing nose with lots of ripe plums, black cherry, plus some porcini mushrooms and dark olive paste. Powerful on the palate, crisp, precise fruit, juicy, lots of fine-grained tannin, long finish.”
