Natalie's Score: 92/100

From Castelli del Grevepesa, Clemente Vii 2013I Chianti Classico is a robust and muscular Chianti Gran Selezione, smoky with earthy, gamey, garrigue aromas on the nose and concentrated on the palate. Savoury and delicious, decant one hour prior to pouring with a meat-lover's pizza topped with more meat and cheese.

Chianti Classico food pairings: meat pizza, vegetarian lasagna, tourtière.

Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Deep red, dry and full bodied Chianti Classico. Aroma of dried red cherries, dusty and earthy notes plus a nice smokiness and spice; smooth tannins, well balanced and food friendly acidity. Lovely taste of dried red cherries on the palate, hint of vanilla, spice and smoke; very smooth in mouth. Best if opened 30 minutes to an hour in advance; very pleasant sipping and paired well with the nuttiness of Pecorino cheese and Grana Padano.

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.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
