Chianti Classico Riserva

Castello di Meleto has been welcoming those arriving to Gaiole in Chianti since 1256. A perfect fusion between the past and future, the castle is a superb expression of authentic Tuscany. Castello di Meleto produces prestigious wines, excellent interpretations of the terrior, as well as extra virgin olive oil and raises the heritage pig breed, Cinta Senese.

Sangiovese and 10% Merlot from Alberese clay. Aging lasts 21/24 months and is carried out half in 30 hL Slavonian oak barrels and the other half in 50 hL French oak barrels.

Ruby red with garnet reflections. Perfumes of ripe fruit, aromatic herbs and spicy and peppery notes. Full, complex and persistent mouthfeel with soft tannins.

Perfect to pair first courses with meat, it is ideal in combination with mature cheeses typical of the Tuscan gastronomic tradition such as pecorino cheese.
