Chianti Classico Melini 1959
Denne rødvin fra årgang 1959 er en Chianti Classico fra det historiske vinhus Melini. Chianti Classico udgør Toscanas historiske kerneområde, beliggende mellem Firenze og Siena, og er anerkendt som en af Italiens vigtigste appellationer. Området har sin egen DOCG-klassifikation, der kendetegnes ved det berømte symbol med den sorte hane.
Vinen er baseret på Sangiovese, som er en af Italiens absolutte hoveddruer. I Chianti Classico-området er det et krav, at denne drue udgør mindst 80 procent af vinen. Sangiovese dyrkes primært i Toscana, men er også udbredt i regioner som Umbrien og Emilia Romagna samt i Californien.
Fremstillingen af denne vin bygger på en nøje udvælgelse af druer fra de bedste zoner i området. Ifølge husets egne optegnelser indebærer produktionen en forlænget modningsperiode i Melinis gamle kældre i Castellina in Chianti og Pontassieve, hvilket udgør en hjørnesten i husets traditionelle vinfremstilling.
Melini blev grundlagt i 1705 af Adamo Melini i Poggibonsi og er dermed et af Italiens ældste vinhuse i kontinuerlig drift. Huset har spillet en central rolle i Chiantis historiske udvikling, ikke mindst i 1860, hvor de designede den karakteristiske kuglerunde Chianti-flaske, kendt som en 'fiasco'. Flaskens strågardin var et praktisk design, der sikrede vinen under transport på det dengang nyetablerede jernbanenetværk, og den blev siden et verdenskendt symbol på italiensk vin. I dag er huset ejet af Gruppo Italiano Vini, men repræsenterer fortsat tre århundreders dyb historisk forankring i Toscana.
