| Wine maker notes |
| Chianti re-imagined. A re-interpretation of a modern classic. Re-invigoration of over three hundred years of values that are still relevant today. Melini Chianti Riserva brings together the old and new worlds to reinvent the classic Tuscan red wine. Terroir: This Chianti Riserva is sourced from traditional vineyards selected by Melini for their ideal exposure, climate and soils. Soils are primarily alberese and galestro -loose, gravel soils made up of schist and limestone- typical to the Chianti region. Vines are thickly planted and trained using the Guyot and spurred cordon methods. Vinification: The grapes are cold-macerated on their skins for three to four days followed by a cool fermentation in stainless steel. The wines are aged for 18 months in French oak cask followed by 3-6 months in bottle prior to release. |

| The house of Melini is located at Gaggiano, 300 metres up in the Chianti Classico hills on the road that runs between Poggibonsi and Castellina. Melini’s long tradition goes all the way back to 1705, when the estate was founded on the philosophy of enhancing and characterising Chianti Classico. Its story goes hand in hand with that of Chianti and the first attempts to introduce this wine to the overseas market. Today Melini possesses 524 hectares in the classic Chianti zone between Siena and Florence and estates with famous names such as Selvanella, Terrarossa and Granaio. The main cellar where the Chianti and other great Tuscan wines are vinified and matured is in Gaggiano; the Vernaccia is vinified and aged at a second cellar in San Gimignano. |
