Today, Melini farms select vineyard sites along the south-facing slopes of the Elsa River valley, where well-exposed hillsides reach elevations of over 1,200 feet. These high-altitude sites, with their excellent sun exposure and cooling elevation, are ideal for Sangiovese — producing wines of genuine fragrance, elegance, and typicity. Borghi d'Elsa is the estate's classic Chianti expression: a traditional blend led by Sangiovese, crafted to deliver the authentic character of the appellation at an exceptional everyday price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is intense, fragrant, and elegant: blackberries and raspberries intertwined with violet and Florentine iris — the hallmark floral lift of high-altitude Tuscan Sangiovese. On the palate, it is dry, full, and harmonious with a slightly tannic structure and an elegant aftertaste of toasted almond and fruits of the forest. Clean, food-friendly, and quintessentially Chianti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Intense, fragrant and elegant aromas of blackberries and raspberries, with violet and Florentine iris notes.
