Castello di Meleto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020

$3999 $4499

Castello di Meleto has anchored Gaiole in Chianti since 1256, and these days the estate's low-yielding, largely organic vineyards aim for the elegant, mineral side of Sangiovese. Gran Selezione sits at the top of the Chianti Classico pyramid, drawn here from the estate's best parcels and given long aging. The 2020 is pure Sangiovese: structured and noble, with ripe red fruit, woodsmoke and balsamic lift over a stony spine. Give it air, or a few years in the cellar.

"Made entirely with Sangiovese from different estate vineyards, the delicious, enveloping 2020 Castello di Meleto Gran Selezione features sensations of forest floor, succulent red cherry and layers of spice. Polished tannins provide lithe supple support. Drink 2025–2030." —Kerin O’Keefe
