Chianti Classico Castello d'Albola 2023

It is always with great pleasure that a bottle of Chianti Classico is uncorked. When it is as remarkable as that made by Castello d'Albola, the ecstasy that comes from drinking it is even greater. It is indeed a red of great personality, whose character derives from a complex and well-presented aromatic profile, where primary and tertiary aromas blend together in great harmony, giving rise to a label that is nothing short of pleasant. The Castello d'Albola winery confirms all its ability in creating great Tuscan wines, which magnificently interpret the gentle hills of the Chianti terroir.

The Chianti Classico from Castello d'Albola is produced from the principal grape variety of the Chianti area, Sangiovese, to which a pinch of a local Tuscan variety, Canaiolo, is added. Once harvested, the grapes, whose bunches are selected with rigor and care, ferment and macerate on their skins in stainless steel containers. Malolactic fermentation, on the other hand, takes place in wood. This is followed by the aging phase, carried out in Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months, after which the wine is bottled and marketed.

The Chianti Classico Castello d'Albola wine manifests itself with a ruby red color, crossed by slight garnet veins. The aromas that envelop the nose highlight fruity notes, enriched by more spicy and toasted wood aromas. On the palate, it has an excellent structure, relying on an important savory sip, thanks to a well-present tannin component. A label that, over the years, has received notable recognitions, as evidenced by the prestigious awards given by guides and the high ratings attributed by the main international industry magazines.
