Castello di Albola Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Solatio 2017
In the heart of the Castello di Albola estate, beautifully located on a charming and sunny South-east facing steep slope known on Solatìo, is a one-hectare parcel planted with Sangiovese. Altitude, which ranges from 550 to 580 metres, and a rocky soil are the key elements of Il Solatìo, from which a fine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is made. The crystal-clear class of this wine resides in its elegant aromas enhanced by rarefied spicy sensations, in its fine tannins and its neat taste, so much to qualify as the clearest expression of this vine.
