Gin Clante Castello di Meleto - 50cl

Gin 'Clante' by Castello di Meleto is a Dry Gin produced in Tuscany that stands out for its evocative scents of citrus fruits and Mediterranean scrub. Castello di Meleto is an important winery in the area of Gaiole in Chianti, a municipality located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, which has recently enriched its portfolio with a fine selection of distillates. The appellation 'Clante' derives from the ancient name of the Massellone stream, a watercourse that flows near the Castello di Meleto property, which is entirely run under a certified organic system. In turn, it seems that the etymology of Clante is linked to the word 'Chianti'.

Castello di Meleto Dry Gin "Clante" is produced by combining alcohol and selected precious plants harvested directly on the estate, such as lavender, rosemary, sage and lemon, as well as the ubiquitous juniper, a fundamental ingredient in gin production. The final bottling takes place in a 50 cl bottle, reminiscent of the medicinal elixirs that were sold in pharmacies in ancient times.

Visually, the "Clante" Dry Gin from Castello di Meleto in Chianti is transparent and crystal clear. The nose reveals an intense aroma of Mediterranean scrub, reminiscent of sage and rosemary, enriched with fresh citrus notes. The flavour is fine, dry and rather sharp, with a fine citrus freshness and a long aromatic persistence in the finish. This gin is able to transport the senses directly to the "herb garden" of Castello di Meleto. It is an ideal distillate to add a touch of Tuscan flair to your cocktails, whether they are great classics such as the gin and tonic and the negroni or creative new interpretations.
