On the nose, vanilla accompanies fragrant floral with hints of honey and flint. The full-flavoured, tangy palate is velvety yet fresh and dynamic, with a fruity, spicy backdrop, and finishes with an attractively long mineral finish.

The Melini family has been making wine in Chianti since 1705. Widely renowned as a world leader in the market, they have been at the forefront of innovation in Tuscany since their inception, from being the first to vinify their wines by vineyard, to introducing the famed Chianti straw flask in the 19th century. As one of Chianti's institutions, it comes as no surprise that their vineyards have some of the best positions and aspects in the area. Today, the winery uses only estate-grown grapes, and aspire to the highest levels of quality in their range.
