There is no place in Chianti that does not fade into legend. Castello di Albola is located in Tuscany, one of the most renowned Italian regions for its rich history, tradition, art, culture, and unforgettable landscapes. In addition to having been the cradle of Italian literature and the Renaissance, the land in this region is renowned around the world for its very ancient oenological history, documented as early as the 8th century B.C. in Etruscan times, from which some of the most celebrated Italian wines in the world are born: this territory has 42 DOC wines and 11 DOCG wines, spread throughout the region.
The historic Chianti Classico area, whose symbol is the Black Rooster, stretches between Florence and Siena, in an area that includes three municipalities: Radda in Chianti, Castellina in Chianti, and Gaiole in Chianti.
Ruby-red in color, trending toward garnet, this wine is bursting with notes of strawberry, red berries, sage, spice cake, and subtle earth on the nose. It is vibrant and medium-bodied, revealing lively cherry and exotic spice and leading to polished tannins and a delicate finish.
Excellent with traditional Italian sauce-based pasta dishes, as well as roasted white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
100% Sangiovese
