Castello di Meleto is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico . Crossing its lands is the Massellone torrent , once called Clante , from whose name it seems that the denomination derives. The farm land reaches 600 m above sea level , with an average altitude between 350 and 450 metres , a characteristic which determines strong temperature variations between day and night, ideal for the development of aromas and the maintenance of freshness.

The absolute protagonist is the Sangiovese vine , symbol of the Chianti Classicowhich, in the individual sub-zones, gives different expressions. Alongside it, there are also other indigenous varieties such as Malvasia Nera , Canaiolo and Vermentino  together with international varieties such as Merlot . In Meleto, thanks to the extension of the property and the long history of viticulture, the most suitable lands have been selected , divided into five macro-zones, different in terms of climate, slopes, exposure, soil composition and altitude: Meleto , San Piero , Poggiarso , Moci and Cases .
