Castello di Meleto: The History of Wine in Gaiole in Chianti since 1256
The Rosato is part of the Borgaio line which consists of pleasant and ready-to-drink wines designed for everyday consumption. Rosato is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes. Castello di Meleto is focusing in particular on this variety and embarking on an interesting path of qualitative growth. As such, the younger vines and those positioned in cooler areas have been destined for the production of this wine.
In 2018 the winter season began normally with significant cold peaks, particularly in the first two weeks of February. We had an unstable spring season with erratic temperatures and considerable rainfall and even summer brought much rain and a few hailstorms. The tail-end of summer was characterized by above average temperatures and warm winds with temperatures differing substantially between day and night, thus allowing the grapes to completely ripen and the best aromatic notes to fully develop.
