Castello di Meleto – Castle Storytelling – History – Art – Wine – 4 Days 3 Nights – Avvenice

Castello di Meleto – In Gaiole in Chianti since 1256

The land of Castello di Meleto extend around the medieval town for about 2,470 acres: of these 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.

Chianti

Chianti is without a doubt one of the most renowned wine-producing areas. And that’s not all. When thinking of the territory we cannot help but recall the cypress trees, the churches, the castles which dot the region.

During Medieval times Gaiole in Chianti was an important merchant town set along the road to Valdarno. The many castles and parishes in the surrounding area are a testament to the flourishing and prosperous farms and businesses.
