Vinification of Castelgreve Chianti Classico DOCG by Castelli del Grevepesa The grapes for Castelgreve Chianti Classico DOCG - Castelli del Grevepesa come from selected sites in Tuscany. The vineyards are located on calcareous and clay soils, partly with a stony subsoil. This results in good drainage and deep roots. The climate is warm, with sunny days and cool nights, which intensifies the aromas and preserves the freshness. The vines for the cuvée are carefully tended, with targeted canopy management and yield reduction. This allows the grapes to ripen evenly and develop strong, varietally typical aromas. Harvesting is usually selective, often by hand, so that only ripe berries reach the cellar. Strict selection already in the vineyard ensures the desired quality. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they undergo gentle processing, with the berries being destemmed and lightly crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit aromas of raspberry, sour cherry and violet as well as possible. The maceration period allows targeted extraction of color, tannin and aromatic compounds. During fermentation, the cap is regularly punched down or pumped over. This keeps the color and structure clear and fine. Alcoholic fermentation is managed precisely to achieve a dry style and the typical character of a Chianti Classico. This is followed by malolactic conversion, which smooths the acid profile and makes the wine more rounded. Maturation takes place partly in large wooden casks and partly in smaller barrels, depending on the vintage and the desired style. The wood lends the wine subtle notes of vanilla, cocoa bean and cedarwood without overpowering the red fruit. By aging on the fine lees, the wine gains in fullness, structure and depth. After barrel maturation, the wine is assembled into the final cuvée. Here the skill of the cellar master at Castelli del Grevepesa becomes evident, as fruit, tannin and spice are brought together into a harmonious whole. A further resting phase in the bottle allows the aromas to integrate and leads to a rounded taste experience. The result is a Chianti Classico that clearly expresses its Tuscan origin while offering a modern, clearly focused profile. Castelgreve Chianti Classico DOCG - Castelli del Grevepesa combines structure, freshness and elegant fruit with fine spice from traditional maturation.
