Castelli del Grevepesa
Castelgreve Chianti Classico DOCG
Wine Type: Red Wine
Country: Italy
Region: Toscana
Grapes: 95% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot
Winery Tasting Notes: Ruby red color, very intense. The scent is elegant, with a nuance of violets and a flavor of ripe fruit. Tasty, well-balanced wine with soft and velvety tannins, good persistence.
Food Pairings: Grilled red meat, including game recipes, spicy and ripe cheese.
Wine Spectator: “The core of cherry and raspberry is framed by cut grass, menthol and iron notes in this firm yet fluid red, which shows fine balance and length. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now through 2028.”
James Suckling: “A delicious, fruity and vivid Chianti Classico expressing notes of cherries, berries and wild herbs. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Velvety and refined with a delicious, succulent finish. Drink or hold.”
Wine Enthusiast: “Sweet and sour fruit and umami intensity connect nose to palate, with both offering strawberries, cherries, meat jus and crushed rocks. Tannins maintain their integrity even if they’re relaxing.”
