Manual and mechanical harvesting. Upon arrival, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The period of contact with the skins varies from 2 weeks with constant monitoring of extraction. The wines then undergo malolactic fermentation in steel, followed by a period of about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels before ageing in the bottle.

In the heart of Chianti Classico, in Radda in Chianti, stands Castello di Albola, a historic estate covering over 900 hectares, 110 of which are planted with vines. The vineyards range from 350 to 650 metres above sea level, an altitude that gives the wines freshness and finesse, thanks to the temperature variations and a microclimate ideal for viticulture. Castello di Albola's Chianti Classico DOCG is an organic wine made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The vines grow on soils rich in alberese, a limestone rock that contributes to the minerality and structure of the wine. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with contact with the skins for about two weeks to extract colour and aromas. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, again in steel, and a maturation phase of about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by refinement in the bottle. Intense and lively ruby red in colour, the nose immediately reveals fruity notes of red fruits and violet. On the palate, it is harmonious and fresh, with well-integrated tannins and pleasant drinkability. It is perfect with traditional first courses served with sauce. Excellent with white meats and roasts, as well as medium-aged cheeses. Nestled in the hills of Chianti Classico, Castello di Albola is a wine-making gem that combines history, elegance and Tuscan authenticity. The estate belongs to the Zonin family and stands on an ancient medieval village, surrounded by vineyards that extend up to 600 metres above sea level. This is where wines of great finesse are produced, such as Chianti Classico and Supertuscan Acciaiolo, the result of a unique terroir and environmentally friendly viticulture. Tradition and innovation coexist harmoniously in every bottle, a sincere expression of the most authentic Tuscany. A winery to discover, amidst art, nature and great wines.
