Melini was founded in 1705 and established itself as an 'international' winery in 1860 when Laborel Melini collaborated in developing the straw-covered flask (fiasco).
From low altitudes within the Chianti zone, aged in a combination of oak casks, barriques, and steel. A modern wine with distinctive Tuscan roots.
Pronounced bouquet of raspberries and blackberries with hints of violets and irises.
