Description
From one of the highest vineyards in the area of Chianti Classico – a long, narrow plot covering 3.2 hectares at a height of 680 m – this wine perfectly interprets the marly soil and the cool climate of the region. Chardonnay grapes are mostly vinified in steel tanks, while the remaining grapes age in barriques, emphasising strong mineral scents in the aroma and a fresh, nervous note on the palate.

This is demonstrated by the interest of the Samminiati who, at the beginning of the 17th century when the male line of the Acciaiuoli had become extinct, took possession of Pian d’Albola thanks to the marriage between Ascanio Samminiati and Caterina Acciaiuoli. When Samminiati died, the property one again passed through a marital alliance to the Pazzis, one of the most noble and ancient Florentine families, who in fact kept it until the middle of the 19th century.
For the next hundred years Pian d’Abola, which in the general census of Chianti in 1832 was declared as one of the very few self-sufficient estates anywhere in the area, passed through several hands until 1940, when it was acquired by Prince Giovanni Ginori Conti. Forty years later it became the property of the Zonin Family, which initiated its second Renaissance. Read more
