Castello di Albola Acciaiolo 2015
Acciaiolo is a sumptuous interpretation of the expressive force of the soils around Castello di Albola: a meticulous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes confers character and elegance, while a small percentage of Sangiovese from a single vineyard of old vines underpins its most authentic nuances. The name of the wine pays tribute to the House of the Acciaiuoli; a distinguished wine, it combines power with grace, and has a soft and supple body, a seductive aroma and long and lingering finish.

Colour

Dense ruby red.

Bouquet

Intense, with hints of woodland berries, plums and liquorice.

Flavour

Sumptuous and elegant with finely-tuned acidity and excellent persistence on the palate.

Pairing

Ideal with roasts, pot roasts and game. It also pairs well with full-flavoured and matured cheeses.
