About
Castello di Meleto is a historic estate located in Gaiole in Chianti, at the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany. The estate is known for producing site-expressive wines that reflect the diversity of its hillside vineyards and commitment to traditional Sangiovese winemaking.
Winemaking: Grapes are hand-harvested from select estate vineyards and carefully sorted before fermentation. The wine undergoes maceration and then matures for extended ageing in large oak casks (typically 30–50 hl) for around 27 months, followed by further refinement in bottle to build complexity and structure.
Vineyards: Fruit is sourced from high-quality parcels including Poggiarso, Casi and San Pietro in Gaiole in Chianti. The vineyards sit at varying elevations on rocky, well-drained soils, contributing freshness, aromatic intensity and firm yet refined tannins typical of top-tier Sangiovese.
