Lots of coffee, mocha and espresso from oak aging on the nose and palate of this full-bodied, supple Italian red wine from Chianti. Pair with tomato sauce dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Debbie Ingram - CSW, WSET Level 1 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a great food wine with good acidity and well balanced. Lush ripe plum and intense cherry flavours and an undercurrent of tobacco and earth. On the palate it is a medium to full bodied with a long finish.
Produced by Castelli Del Grevepesa, this robust Tuscan red wine is named after Pope Clemente VII in 1523, who was originally named Guilo de Medici, a member of the famously rich arts patrons, the Medici family of Florence. This wine is made from the traditional Chianti grape Sangiovese. Finishes with black fruit, smoke and tar. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
