Ready for some Mexican carne asada, the Castelli del Grevepesa 2018 Chianti Classico Clemente VII shows a lot of bright cherry, crème de cassis and kirsch. Those ripe red fruit tones are followed by spice, tar and tilled earth. Like many of the other wines from San Casciano Val di Pesa, the fundamental character of this Sangiovese prizes accessibility and simple lines.

Mint and camphor signal this red, with modest cherry and earth flavors. A touch of oak graces the finish. Drink now. 10,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
