The story: Castello di Meleto is a complex and fascinating reality where history, wine, and tourism intertwine. Located in Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, one of the most well-known Italian wine areas in the world, wine has been made here since 1256. Its current form, Viticola Toscana, is the realization of a dream shared by many individuals who, pooling their resources and savings, accomplished something extraordinary. 

Why You'll Love Me: Pours a deep ruby red, with an aroma brimming with marked notes of cherry, and hints of floral and spice. The palate exudes a velvety depth with rounded tannins, showing good structure with excellent balance and a long, full finish.
