The Castelli del Grevepesa 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Castello di Bibbione (made with 95% Sangiovese and 5% Merlot) reveals medium-rich concentration with dark fruit, baked cherry, tilled earth and grilled herb. There is softness backed by moments of textural creaminess on the mid-palate, which give this wine a soothing and easy-drinking personality.

This is a mild, mid-weight Tuscan red to pair with simple lamb or pork dishes. The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Castello di Bibbione offers dark berry aromas of wild cherry and blackberry backed by spice and cured leather. The mouthfeel is tight and compact, but that sense of polished persistence does last. The blend is 95% Sangiovese with 5% Merlot. Some 30,000 bottles were made.
