Description

Melini's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a red wine that represents one of the highest expressions of Italian viticulture, produced in the historic area of Montalcino, in Tuscany. This wine is made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes, selected with great care in the best vineyards in the area, and represents the passion and experience of the Melini winery in the production of high quality wines.

Visually, it has an intense ruby red color, tending towards garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex and deep bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of spices, tobacco and chocolate, as well as an elegant touch of vanilla and leather, the result of long barrel aging.

On the palate, this Brunello is rich and powerful, but at the same time elegant and well-structured. The tannins are robust but refined, the acidity is well balanced, and the wine develops intense flavors of red fruit, spices and balsamic notes, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of complexity and harmony.

Ideal for accompanying rich and intense dishes, such as roasted red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, Melini's Brunello di Montalcino is also a perfect wine for special occasions or as a meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly to appreciate them all the nuances.

Winery history

The Melini family's roots in winemaking date back to the 18th century; the winery is recorded in historical sources as active since 1705. Over the course of the 20th century ownership passed through several hands before becoming part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which still oversees its brand and production.

Production philosophy

The winery combines Chianti tradition with modern winemaking techniques, focusing on vineyard selection and the expression of Sangiovese, either as a single-varietal or in blends with international grape varieties, to produce terroir-driven, ready-to-drink wines.

Terroir and vineyards

The facilities are located in the hills of the Chianti Classico around Gaggiano. Among the estates and vineyards cited in the sources are La Selvanella, Granaio and Terrarossa; the vineyards are situated on hillsides, with exposures and elevations typical of the Chianti Classico area.
