| The land of the Castle of Meleto stretches round the castle for about 1.000 hectares (2.471.000 acres), 180 of which are destined to the cultivation of the grapevine. The prevailing grapes are Sangiovese, destined to the production of Chianti Classico wine, together with Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah and other traditional types of vine. |  |
 |
The
soil is mostly marl, calcareous marl and alberese: it is just in this barren land
that the grapevine gives its best fruits, full of scents and natural fragrances. The names of the estates and the hills remind of a remote Etruscan and Roman-Christian history: Casi, Moci, Pieve di Spaltenna, Camboi, San Piero in Avenano, Poggiarso |
