Fattorie Melini is one of Chianti’s oldest and most historic wineries, founded in 1705 on the Gaggiano hills between Siena and Florence. Built on a long tradition of sourcing from prime hillside sites (300 m asl) with clay, limestone and galestro soils, Melini was an early pioneer of the “cru” vineyard philosophy in Tuscany, selecting parcels for quality expression long before it became common practice. Over centuries, the estate played a significant role in the international recognition of Chianti Classico, with vineyards on steep slopes that enjoy warm days and cooling airflows, promoting balanced phenolic ripeness and vibrant acidity. Today Melini blends heritage and innovation: estate-grown Sangiovese for Chianti and Chianti Classico, producing wines that are elegant, terroir-driven and representative of classical Tuscan structure and finesse.
