Castelli del grevepesa s.c.a. via gabbiano 34 - i 50026 san casciano val di pesa - fi
We are in the heart of green Tuscany. And to be precise in Bibbione, in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. It is here that Castelli del Grevepesa cultivates the vineyards used for the production of this Chianti Classico Castello di Bibbione. 90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, the grapes come from vineyards planted on typical Chianti soils, pebbly and apparently poor. The exposures are good, guaranteed by the positioning of the rows at 200 metres above sea level. We are talking about a plot of about 30 hectares, with vines from 15 to 30 years old. Mature' plants capable of producing very high quality. Harvested by hand, in boxes, to select only the best bunches, after traditional vinification the wine matures for about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels. In the glass, it has an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, aromas of small red berries and spicy notes. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is appreciated for its beautiful soft and elegant tannins and persistent finish. The ideal pairing? Simple. Grilled red meats, game and hard cheeses. Hard to imagine a better marriage...
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.
