Producer: Fattorie Melini stands as one of Chianti Classico's most historic estates, founded in 1705 and representing over three centuries of Tuscan winemaking tradition. The 2018 Vigneti La Selvanella Riserva showcases the estate's commitment to producing exceptional wines from carefully selected vineyard sites within the prestigious Chianti Classico zone, demonstrating the enhanced quality and complexity that defines Riserva-level wines.
Located in the heart of Chianti Classico between Siena and Florence, the La Selvanella vineyard benefits from ideal south-facing expositions and the region's distinctive galestro and alberese soils that create perfect conditions for Sangiovese cultivation.
This vintage reflects Melini's expertise in blending traditional Tuscan winemaking methods with modern techniques, producing wines that capture the authentic character of Chianti Classico whilst meeting contemporary quality standards. The Riserva designation requires extended ageing, resulting in wines of greater concentration and complexity that showcase the true potential of Sangiovese in this legendary Italian wine region.
