Winery Tasting Notes: The barrique-aged Castelli del Grevepesa 2019 Clemente VII Settimo is a wine of volume and generous texture with dark fruit, earthy background notes and wild rose. The wine dances between dark primary notes and balsam herb, and this mix is quite attractive. Elegant mineral tones frame that core of dark fruit.

 Food Pairings: Roasted and grilled red meat, mature cheeses.

Wine Enthusiast: “There are cherries, chocolate and orange peel on the nose with a bit of top soil and wild herbs – from sage to fennel. That introduces a palate with more cherries and chocolate and a bit of heat on the back. A bite of acid brings back the orange on the nose.”

James Suckling: “A creamy and layered red with currant and berry aromas and flavors. Just a hint of sandalwood. Medium body. Easy finish. Drink now.”

Wine Advocate: “A blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Syrah and 25% Merlot, the barrique-aged Castelli del Grevepesa 2019 Clemente VII Settimo is a wine of volume and generous texture with dark fruit, earthy background notes and wild rose. The wine dances between dark primary notes and balsam herb, and this mix is quite attractive. Elegant mineral tones frame that core of dark fruit.”
