Let’s talk about Bolgheri DOC Rosso - Melini

More questions

The Bolgheri DOC Rosso by Melini is a perfect example of the oenological excellence of the renowned Tuscan region, known for its ability to produce red wines of great structure and intensity. This wine is a masterfully crafted blend predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and small percentages of other local grape varieties, coming together to create a complex and enveloping aromatic array.

Upon observation, the Bolgheri DOC Rosso displays a deep ruby red color. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a subtle hint of vanilla stand out, stemming from aging in oak barrels. The palate is well-balanced, with an elegant tannic presence and a pleasant aromatic persistence that invites a second sip.

Ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, this wine is recommended for those who appreciate Tuscan reds with a strong territorial identity, capable of expressing through taste and aroma all the richness of their land of origin. A prestigious addition to any table that cherishes wines with character.

The story
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.
