The land of Castello di Meleto extend around the medieval town for about 2,470 acres: of there 300 are reserved for growing grapes. Sangiovese is the main varietal used in the production of the Chianti Classico DOCG. Other varietals planted in the '80s include Merlot and Cabernet, but since the late 90s there has been a process of replanting aimed at enhancing the traditional heritage of grapes in Tuscany, also introducing some white varieties such as Vermentino.
From the clusters ripened under the Tuscan sun come grapes of exceptional purity. The 300 acres of vineyards located within the estate of Castello di Meleto have all the necessary requisites for producing great wines: good soil, perfect micro-climate and the expertise of our farm managers.
