Descrizione

The Chianti DOCG by Melini comes from one of the most famous wine regions in Tuscany, celebrated for its hilly terroirs and ideal climate that favors the cultivation of Sangiovese, the main grape variety of this denomination. In the glass, it shows a bright ruby color, announcing intense aromas of cherry, violet, and light spicy notes of black pepper.

The aging takes place in small oak barrels, which provide softness and an elegant tannin, without overpowering the typical fruity freshness of Chianti. On the palate, a perfect balance emerges between acidity and structure, with a persistent and harmonious finish that recalls scents of ripe red fruits and light balsamic nuances.

Excellent paired with traditional Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù or roasts, this Chianti offers an authentic and refined experience in a smaller format, ideal for tastings and more intimate convivial moments.

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.
