CASTELLI DEL GREVEPESA S.C.A. VIA GABBIANO 34 - I 50026 SAN CASCIANO VAL DI PESA - FI
Intense ruby red, with violet hues. Bringing the nose closer to the glass, what one observes are the varietal notes of Cabernet Sauvignon emerging very clearly, enveloped by the fruitier and warmer ones of Merlot. All in perfect harmony. In the mouth, then, it is the great structure and body of this wine that give a perfect representation of the Bolgheri terroir. A DOC red, this Col Silente is made from 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The 'fab four' of the Bordeaux region, also perfectly set here on the Tuscan coast. Vineyards in the Donoratico - Livorno area, located on the plains about 1 kilometre from the sea. After careful and traditional vinification, the wine matures for at least 10 months in French oak barriques, where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. A minimum of 3 months of bottle ageing follows. A perfect wine for dishes rich in flavour, such as game dishes and stewed meats. It is also perfect with well matured cheeses with a piquant flavour.
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.
