Descrizione

Melini's Chianti DOCG San Lorenzo is a wine that embodies the essence of Tuscany, with its rich history and picturesque landscape. This wine represents excellence in the production of Melini, a winery that for generations has been dedicated to enhancing the territory and producing high quality wines.

Chianti San Lorenzo stands out for its intense ruby red color, with reflections that tend towards purple with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex and inviting bouquet, with notes of cherry, plum and a light spiciness that recalls vanilla and black pepper, the result of maturation in wood.

In the mouth, the structure of this Chianti DOCG is robust but balanced, with soft and well-integrated tannins that lead to a persistent and harmonious finish. Its lively acidity makes it an ideal companion for a wide range of dishes, from pasta with meat sauces to more structured dishes such as roasts and mature cheeses.

The care in selecting the grapes, coming from the most suitable hills of the Chianti region, and the attention throughout the winemaking process, reflect Melini's commitment to preserving the Tuscan winemaking tradition, while offering a wine that speaks to the palate modern.

San Lorenzo is more than a wine; it is a journey through the flavors and aromas of Tuscany, a tribute to its land and its people, a sensorial experience that Melini proudly shares with every sip.

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.
