Castello di Albola Toscana Acciaiolo 2019
Acciaiolo is a sumptuous interpretation of the expressive power of the soils around the Castello di Albola. From a single vineyard of old vines, a rigorous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes lends character and elegance, while a small portion of Sangiovese outlines the most authentic nuances. The name is a homage to the Acciaiuoli Family. The wine is a precious wine with a strong and graceful design, a soft and supple body, a seductive bouquet.
