The Story
Castelli Del Grevepesa Clemente VII Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 pours a deep, intense ruby red in the glass. The nose is elegant and highly expressive, revealing a complex bouquet of bright red cherries, wild berries, and a touch of fresh orange marmalade, seamlessly intertwined with earthy mushroom, wild herbs, and an intriguing flinty edge. On the palate, this 100% Sangiovese is medium-to-full-bodied, dry, and distinctly terroir-driven. It showcases a generous core of fresh red fruit supported by refined, approachable chalky tannins and a lively vein of acidity. The finish is remarkably long, sophisticated, and layered with notes of dark chocolate and subtle, well-integrated toasted oak.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with rich red meat dishes, hearty veal ragù, classic meat-lover's pizza, and aged Italian cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Herbal notes dominate the nose that also gives fresh cherries and orange marmalade. The palate offers a cherry medley lifted by more warm citrus and a coppery, flinty edge offset by a dark chocolate finish and chalky but approachable tannins.
