Castelgreve Chianti Classico DOCG Raffia Bottle - 2017 - Castelli dei Grevepesa

A Chianti Classico in an attractive raffia bottle, as it was originally produced in Tuscany. The straw wrapping (fiasco) of the wine container, which was already in use in the late Middle Ages, originally served to protect the thin-walled, easily breakable glass from damage. With the emergence of mass tourism from the 1950s onwards, this bottle became a symbol of carefree holiday joy and enjoyment of life. (wein-plus.eu)

Intense ruby red, this Chianti Classico made from Sangiovese grapes presents elegant aromas, notes of violets and nuances of ripe fruit. Full, harmonious taste with soft and velvety tannins, persistent finish. Goes well with first courses, game, roasts or mature cheeses.
