Description

Castello di Meleto - Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is the pinnacle of quality from the historic Castello di Meleto estate, located in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region. "Gran Selezione" represents the highest tier in the Chianti Classico classification, with rigorous standards for aging and vineyard selection. Made predominantly from Sangiovese, with small amounts of other native varietals, this wine showcases the exceptional terroir of the estate and the dedication to traditional winemaking techniques. It is aged for a minimum of 30 months, with part of that time in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop complexity and structure.

Tasting Notes

NOSE:
The nose of Castello di Meleto - Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is rich and intense, with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums, intertwined with floral hints of violets and earthy notes of leather and tobacco. Subtle oak influences add nuances of vanilla, spice, and dark chocolate.

TASTE:
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances the fruit.

FINISH:
Flavors of red and black fruit, dried herbs, and savory spices lead to a long, elegant finish with hints of cedar and balsamic undertones.

Food Pairing

Castello di Meleto - Chianti Classico Gran Selezione pairs perfectly with traditional Tuscan dishes and other rich, flavorful foods. It is a natural match for Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Tuscan steak), roasted lamb, or wild game like venison or boar. The wine’s acidity and tannin structure also complement pasta with rich meat sauces, such as wild boar ragu or a hearty lasagna. For cheese pairings, opt for aged Pecorino, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or other firm, salty cheeses. The wine’s complexity and elegance make it ideal for slow-cooked dishes and rich flavors that allow its nuanced character to shine.
