Why You'll Love It
A single-vineyard Gran Selezione with real presence: dark cherry, violet and warm spice supported by plush but serious tannins. There is enough freshness to keep the rich fruit in balance. A superb choice for ragù, roast game or aged Pecorino.
About The Producer
Castello di Meleto has watched over Gaiole in Chianti since 1256. Today the estate combines this extraordinary heritage with detailed vineyard research, identifying the distinct character of individual sites across its hillside holdings. Vigna Casi is a particularly compelling expression of Chianti Classico's galestro soils and Sangiovese's capacity for depth and elegance.
Winemaking Information
100% Sangiovese from the Casi vineyard, where dark galestro slate and sandstone give the wine structure and aromatic depth. Hand-harvested fruit ferments at controlled temperatures, with 15–20 days on skins, before malolactic fermentation in cement. The wine matures for 27 months in large, 50-hectolitre French oak casks.
