CASTELLI DEL GREVEPESA S.C.A. VIA GABBIANO 34 - I 50026 SAN CASCIANO VAL DI PESA - FI
Castelli del Grevepesa offers this interesting Tuscan red, Calamassi Toscana IGT, the result of processing the region's main grape variety, Sangiovese. In this case the 'toscanaccio' enters the blend in a percentage of 90%. With him a selection of other grapes, red and white, as per ancient regional tradition. Harvested by hand, with careful selection of the bunches, vinification takes place at a controlled temperature, with about 10 days of maceration on the skins. At the end of processing, the wine then rests, again in steel tanks, for a few months before bottling. In the glass, one thus discovers a beautiful wine characterised by a lively ruby red colour. The bouquet is pleasant, fruity, with a note of morello cherry probably due to the prevalence of Sangiovese grapes. In the mouth, however, it reveals itself to be vinous, balanced and with good persistence. To fully enjoy it, the advice is to always pair it with traditional dishes. Such as an appetiser of crostini and cured meats or pasta dishes dressed with a good country ragù.
There is no area more fascinating and full of history and tradition than Chianti. And a piece of this history is linked to the name Castelli del Grevepesa. We are in San Casciano Val di Pesa, some fifteen kilometres from Florence, right at the gateway to Chianti Classico. Here, in 1965, a group of 18 winegrowers gave life to a new reality. They were united by a single dream, that of keeping intact the centuries-old traditions of Tuscan viticulture, territory and farming customs. To do this, they immediately set their sights on the production of high quality wines, in compliance with the strict standards of the Black Rooster Consortium. Since then, a lot of wine has passed through the jars of the cellar, which over the years has grown to its current capacity of about 120 member companies, with vineyards mainly in the municipalities of Greve in Chianti, San Casciano Val di Pesa (Mercatale Val di Pesa), Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and Barberino Val d'Elsa. The range has clearly expanded and now includes wines from all the main regional denominations. From Chianti and Chianti Classico to Vernaccia, Nobile di Montepulciano and even includes a Maremma line, with Vermentino, Rosato and Morellino. But there is no shortage of goodies. Even if the size has changed, unchanged is the passion that is put into every day's work.
