The result of a harmonious blend, it combines the vigour of Cabernet Sauvignon with the authenticity of Sangiovese. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby red colour and an enveloping bouquet, marked by intense notes of wild berries, plum and liquorice. On the palate, it offers a supple structure, supported by well-integrated acidity that leads the tasting towards a long and persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Radda in Chianti, in the province of Siena, within the historic boundaries of Chianti Classico. The vineyards surround the estate and are trained using the spur-pruned cordon method, following sustainable practices. The roots delve into Alberese soils, geological formations of marine origin with a clay-limestone profile. The high stoniness ensures optimal drainage, promoting the plants' water balance. Low yields and organic cultivation guarantee fruit of the highest quality, resulting in a glass with a defined structure and great aromatic precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in October with a rigorous manual harvest from a single vineyard of old vines. The vinification process involves temperature-controlled fermentation, enhanced by prolonged maceration on the skins to optimise polyphenol extraction. Ageing takes place in first and second passage French barrels, completed by a period of rest in glass to consolidate the wine's balance. After about an hour of decanting, the wine reveals all its elegance, making it ideal to accompany roasts, game and flavourful mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acciaiolo is a sumptuous tribute to the noble Florentine Acciaiuoli family and comes to life at the \u003cstrong\u003eCastello di Albola\u003c\/strong\u003e, an estate whose historical roots date back to 1010.
