Poderi Melini

On the hills overlooking Val d’Elsa, Podere San Lorenzo is located on the historical border between Chianti and Chianti Classico, the first estate that you come across along the farm road through the cypress groves. The estate is surrounded by one of only 3 cypress groves grown from seed in Italy; their 250 hectares a real rarity. The soil of Podere San Lorenzo is composed of yellow-ochre sands of Pliocene origin referred to locally as ‘tufo senese’ it is a soil rich in marine fossils.
