In the glass, it displays a bright ruby hue with elegant garnet highlights. The aromatic profile releases notes of cherry and raspberry, enriched by violet, Mediterranean herbs, mineral accents and delicate hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious and medium-bodied, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003evelvety texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and lively acidity. The fine-grained tannins accompany a long finish, where fruit and spices blend elegantly, outlining excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Chianti Classico originates from the Radda in Chianti area, where the Castello di Albola vineyards stretch at altitudes between 350 and 650 metres. These elevations ensure optimal temperature variations to define the wine’s aromatic identity. The vines thrive on \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of marine origin, characterised by excellent drainage thanks to the presence of fine gravel composed of \u003cstrong\u003eGalestro and Alberese\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The grapes are harvested by hand, then undergo traditional fermentation with skin maceration to gently extract the aromatic components. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This ageing process smooths the tannins while preserving the original freshness. An adequate \u003cstrong\u003efinal rest\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures complete harmony of the flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinked to noble families since the Middle Ages, the Castello di Albola in \u003cstrong\u003eRadda in Chianti\u003c\/strong\u003e underwent a profound revival starting in 1979.
