Castello di Meleto Chianti Gran Selezione Classico DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2020

Description

The 2020 Gran Selezione from Castello di Meleto represents the pinnacle of their Chianti Classico range. A wine of depth, precision, and remarkable elegance. Crafted primarily from the estate’s finest Sangiovese parcels, it opens with an alluring bouquet of black cherry, dried rose, tobacco leaf, and warm spices, with subtle notes of graphite and cedar from refined oak aging.

On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet finely poised, showing layers of ripe red and black fruit supported by firm, polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of leather, balsamic, and savory herbs add complexity as the wine unfolds toward a long, harmonious finish marked by minerality and persistence.
