Castello Di Meleto 2015 is a great value under $20 Tuscan Chianti Classico. Full-bodied, elegant with pink florals, ripe red berry and savoury spice flavours on the palate. Very pretty. Could benefit from some cellar time. Drink from 2020 on.

Chianti Classico food pairings: bucatini (pasta) with sausage and peas, rich meat pasta and tomato sauce, cheese pizza.

From the Tuscany wine region Castello Di Meleto 2015 is a great value under $20 Chianti Classico with rose petal, ripe red berry and spicy flavours on the palate. Tannins are quite firm right now and could benefit from some cellar time. Drink from 2020 and for the next five years. Pair with a rich tomato and meat pasta dish. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
