Fattorie Melini “San Lorenzo” Chianti 2020, Italy
Be sure to scoop us this exceptional value for your next red sauce night. We got a terrific deal on this– Melini’s San Lorenzo Chianti would normally retail for over $20! In the glass, Melini Chianti greets you with a garnet hue. The nose offers of tart red cherry, tire shop, and juniper. Both sour and ripe red cherries occupy the palate, with a dusty cocoa note and an elevated acidity with fine tannins. Crafted from 85% Sangiovese, with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, this wine undergoes a brief 5 month aging process, utilizing a mix of new and old barrels, with a small portion in barriques, resulting in a fresh and approachable style. The grapes were cultivated on diverse soils including Galestro (a loose, marl-like schist), albarese (weathered sandstone from sedimentary limestone), and clay. This unique combination imparts complexity and mineral notes to the wine.
