Castello di Meleto Chianti Classico DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2020

Description

The 2020 Castello di Meleto Chianti Classico is a quintessential expression of Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany  that's vibrant, structured, and full of character. It opens with aromas of red cherry, plum, and dried herbs, accented by subtle notes of violet, cedar, and a touch of earth. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and elegant, featuring bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins that provide both freshness and depth. Flavors of tart cherry, pomegranate, and spice lead into a savory, persistent finish with a hint of leather and minerality. Classic in style yet polished in execution, this Chianti Classico delivers authenticity and balance — perfect with pasta al ragù, grilled meats, or aged pecorino.
