Castelli del Grevepesa (Castelgreve)
Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Promise in this wine, there is! (Yoda voice)... I bought two bottles, one I opened today, and one I plan to age.
Full bodied. A lot going on. Cherry. Silky tannins.

A good Sangiovese - 2015 Vintage would definitely introduce to someone who wants to experience Sangiovese black cherry , cured meat , tar,earth ,vanilla high acidity ( great food wine )

Very dark on the medium nose, with black cherry, leather, and tar. Flavors of black cherry, plum, leather, and black pepper are backed my firm, but well integrated tannins. Dark flavors on the long finish.

A blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Merlot, aged for 2 years in large oak barrels, medium Ruby with dark fruit aromas and enticing herb spices. On the palate berry and cherry flavors, smoky oak with pepper and floral spice. Well integrated soft tannins, long finish ending with mineral tones. Very nice! Good value!

Nov 2nd, 20162009. Old school. Lean but persistent in the mouth. Gravelly-scented, macerated choke cherry fruit. Great acidity. Deeply-colored and tight. Nice now, but can easily go another 5 years.
