Description

Chianti 1957 Melini Stravecchio is a historic red wine from Tuscany, Italy, produced by the traditional winery Melini. This bottling represents a classic mid-1950s Chianti, crafted from Sangiovese and other traditional Tuscan varieties, made for long-term aging and gradual development of tertiary aromas.

Tasting Notes:
Deep brick-ruby color with amber highlights. Aromas of dried cherry, red plum, rose petals, leather, tobacco, and subtle balsamic and earthy spice notes.
Medium-bodied palate with softened tannins, balanced acidity, and mature, elegant structure. Long, refined finish with notes of dried herbs, forest floor, and gentle spice.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at 16–18°C, with very gentle decanting if sediment is present.

Pairs well with roasted meats, braised game, pasta with ragù, mushroom risotto, aged Pecorino, and traditional Tuscan dishes.

Producer:
Melini is a historic Tuscan winery known for traditional Chianti and other Sangiovese-based wines, focusing on elegance, structure, and wines built for long-term aging.
