The Chianti Classico Castello di Meleto is a traditional wine, made up of 95% Sangiovese grapes and 5% Merlot grapes. This Chianti, with its intense ruby red color, ages for 15 months in large wood, a characteristic that allows the grape variety to express itself at its best. With notes of violet, red fruits, and spices, it remains velvety and round on the palate, perfect for pairing with the most typical Tuscan traditional dishes.

sorting, the must obtained is introduced into steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 22/24°C, where alcoholic fermentation takes place for 10-15 days. This is followed by possible maceration on the skins depending on the vintage. Part of the wine rests for 15 months in concrete tanks where malolactic fermentation takes place, another part, also for 15 months, but in 50 hl Slavonian oak. In the cellar, reduced use of sulfites is favored and spontaneous fermentations are enhanced to preserve the authenticity of the territory as much as possible.

 The Chianti Classico di Meleto is a wine that speaks of its land with an intense ruby red color and a bouquet of violet and cherry notes, enriched by hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it stands out for its velvety softness and round tannins, with a fresh and persistent finish that invites you to discover new nuances with each sip. A perfect companion to traditional Tuscan dishes, but also to grilled white and red meats, this Chianti is an invitation to experience the unique essence of a territory rich in history, passion, and authenticity.
