The Castello di Meleto Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG<\/b> is a red Tuscan wine of great elegance and complexity, a true expression of the Chianti Classico region.

The grapes, hand-selected and harvested, are destemmed and gently crushed.

Aging lasts 21-24 months, half in 30 hL Slavonian oak barrels and the other half in 50 hL French oak barrels.<\/p>\n

Perfectly complements pasta dishes with meat and game rag\u00f9. It pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses typical of Tuscan gastronomy, such as pecorino.<\/p>\n
