The 2015 Castelli del Grevepesa Clemente VII Chianti Classico Riserva begins with a pleasing aroma of red and black cherry, strawberry, licorice, mint, vanilla, a touch of leather and more.
Taking a sip reveals that this is one smooth Sangiovese. It features similar flavors to the nose with nice touches of spice and earth. It does need some time to breathe, but it keeps getting better as it does.
The best part; however, is the long, lingering, savory finish. This is excellent!
