Descrizione

In the glass it shows a lively ruby; on the nose it is frank and direct, with notes of cherry and small red fruits accompanied by subtle floral hints and a light spicy touch. The sip is linear and well proportioned: sustained freshness, salinity that increases its drinkability and tannins that are present but gentle, skimming the palate without weighing it down. The persistence is pleasant, the overall profile remains essential and sincere, ideal for those looking for a Chianti DOCG with a sober and pleasant personality.

It pairs naturally with everyday Italian cuisine: tomato pasta, ragù, roasts and medium-aged cheeses find an ideal match. Recommended served slightly cool to enhance its vitality; a short aeration opens the aromas in the first glasses. A versatile wine suitable both for informal gatherings and for more structured meals, it offers an immediate drink but with enough body to support flavorful dishes without diminishing their character.

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.
