Bella esperienza
Il racconto è stato apprezzato e ci ha catapultato nella storia.
La degustazione con formaggi e salumi del territorio ci ha degustato lo spirito ed il palato..
L 'unica cosa che posso suggirvi è che ci dovrebbe essere un comunicazione maggiore tra il castello,l enoteca, e voi ,visto che noi abbiamo pernottato al castello

About Winery and Wines
Castello di Meleto stands as a historical and environmental treasure in Gaiole in Chianti, having guarded the region since 1256. Spanning 1000 hectares, with over 700 hectares of forests, the estate embodies a deep commitment to sustainability and biodiversity. As the largest organic estate in Chianti Classico, Castello di Meleto employs advanced technology in its viticulture, ensuring precision farming across its 130 hectares of vineyards. The estate produces wines with a strong sense of identity, focusing on small-batch microvinifications, preserving the unique character of each plot.
The estate is also home to beekeeping initiatives, boasting 80 hives that produce organic honey, reflecting the healthy environment maintained on the property. The "In the Name of the Bee" project allows individuals to adopt beehives, promoting bee repopulation and supporting the ecosystem. Visitors to the castle can explore its vast cellars, where a wine shop and tasting rooms offer an immersive experience in the estate's wines, cured meats from its free-range "Suino Cinto Senese Dop" farm, organic olive oil, and other Tuscan delicacies.
The dedication to preserving the environment is further evidenced by the estate’s decision to join the Chianti Biodistrict in 2020, a collective effort among local producers and public administrations to manage resources sustainably, emphasizing organic production and consumption. The surrounding forest plays a crucial role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, with each hectare removing nine tons of CO2 annually, contributing to a cleaner, healthier ecosystem.
With a rich history and a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, Castello di Meleto is not only a symbol of Gaiole in Chianti but also a beacon of responsible and innovative winemaking, blending tradition with modernity in the heart of Tuscany.
Castello di Meleto offers an impressive array of wines that highlight the diversity and quality of their Chianti Classico estate. The Neo-Classics collection introduces modern interpretations of traditional Tuscan wines, emphasizing purity and precision. The Cru wines represent the pinnacle of single-vineyard expressions, showcasing the unique characteristics of specific plots within the estate. The Borgaio Collection focuses on accessible, everyday wines that capture the essence of Tuscany with elegance and approachability. Each collection reflects the estate’s commitment to excellence in winemaking.
