Descrizione

Of a bright ruby red, this Chianti DOCG from Melini shows an immediate, straightforward profile: on the nose ripe cherry, wild strawberry and light floral notes emerge, along with earthy nuances and a touch of fine spice that add complexity without exuberance. On the palate it offers a pleasing mid-palate, with a slightly bitter note reminiscent of cherry skin and a finish of sweet spices. The sip is lively, supported by a saline freshness that keeps it flowing; the body is medium, the tannins are present but well integrated, providing structure without dryness and a pleasant persistence that invites the next glass.

It is a wine of immediate drinkability but also good balance, suitable for the everyday table: it pairs naturally with tomato-based dishes, rustic soups, roasted meats and aged cheeses. Also perfect with cured-meat starters, mushroom dishes and light grilled fare; its versatility makes it easy to match year-round. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18 °C, and enjoy it both young and after a few years in bottle; ideal if you’re looking for a sincere, agile Chianti with pleasant drinkability.

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.
