Why You'll Love It
From a single vineyard in Gaiole, this Gran Selezione is a serious but beautifully balanced Sangiovese. Dark cherry, violet and warming spice meet generous, polished tannins and the freshness that makes great Chianti Classico so good with food. Particularly fine with ragù or roast game.
About The Producer
Castello di Meleto has stood above Gaiole in Chianti since the thirteenth century. Today the estate combines its extraordinary history with detailed study of its vineyard soils and careful, largely organic farming. The Casi site produces Sangiovese of distinctive depth, perfume and structure, without sacrificing the freshness of the Chianti hills.
Winemaking Information
Sangiovese from the single Casi vineyard, with its dark galestro slate and sandstone soils. The fruit is carefully selected and fermented with maceration on skins before extended ageing in large oak casks. The estate describes around 27 months in Slavonian and French oak, with some tonneaux, allowing the vineyard's savoury, mineral character to come through.
