Fattorie Melini, Sangiovese "Terrarossa" Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy 2020
90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot
Bright ruby-red. The bouquet is vinous and fragrant with violets and iris scents and hints of vanilla. The taste is dry, fine and full, pleasantly fruity with an elegant aftertaste of raspberries and almonds.
Fattorie Melini is the top range of Tuscan wines from Melini, a historic Chianti estate that dates back to 1705. Melini owns over 1,200 acres in Chianti, most of which are in the prime Chianti Classico zone. The Fattorie line uses only 100% estate-grown grapes from Chianti’s most renowned vineyards.
This bottle takes its name from the Terrarossa estate, located next to a picturesque village in the heart of Chianti Classico. The hillside vineyards sit between 900-1,200 feet in elevation and are made up of varied soils of alberese, marl, clay and gravel. Grapes are hand-picked in early October and transported to the winery. Maceration takes place for 15 days in temperature controlled tank followed by 12 months in French oak and a minimum of 3 months aging in bottle prior to release.
