Castelle di Meleto Chianti Classico Riserva, 2020

The region, with its capital city of Florence, is located in central Italy on the Ligurian coast; it also includes Italy's third-largest island, Elba. It borders Liguria and Emilia-Romagna to the north, Marche and Umbria to the east, and Lazio to the south.

DOCG area for red wines in the Italian region of Tuscany. This wine, which is one quality level higher than "normal" Chianti and subject to stricter regulations, comes from the classic zone defined in 1716 by Grand Duke Cosimo III (1642-1723), a member of the Medici family, but which was much smaller at the time. In 1932, additional areas or municipalities were added, completing the current area. The heavily forested area covers approximately 70,000 hectares, but only 7,000 hectares are used for viticulture.
