Wine Expert Note:

Melini Terrarossa Chianti Classico has a medium ruby red color. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by delicate notes of tomato leaf and a hint of spice. On the palate, the flavors of red berries and tart cherries are complemented by subtle hints of clove and cinnamon hinting at maturation in oak. The wine's medium body and sharp acidity give the wine a drinkability and refreshing quality supported by intriguing earthy notes.
