Why You'll Love It
Proper Chianti Classico with red cherry, violet, a savoury edge and supple yet purposeful tannins. Bright acidity gives it real energy at the table. Made for ragù, tomato-based pasta or a good piece of grilled meat.
About The Producer
Castello di Meleto has overlooked Gaiole in Chianti since 1256, but today's estate is thoroughly focused on the future. Michele Contartese and his team have brought renewed attention to its distinctive vineyard sites, varied soils and the precision of its winemaking. Organically farmed vineyards produce authentic Chianti Classico with Sangiovese's trademark structure, freshness and savoury detail.
Winemaking Information
The 2023 blend is Sangiovese (95%) and Merlot (5%). Hand-harvested, destemmed grapes ferment spontaneously in stainless steel at around 22–24°C for 10–15 days, with further skin contact. Malolactic fermentation takes place in cement. About half the wine ages for 15 months in 5,000-litre Slavonian oak barrels; no new oak.
