Castello di Albola

Timeless beauty and harmony on the highest hills of Chianti Classico

On the highest hills in Chianti Classico, in the lush greenery of an age-old natural environment, for centuries beauty has inspired excellence. Nestled in the silence of enchanted lands, inhabited over the centuries by the most noble Tuscan families such as the Acciaioli, Pazzi, Samminiati and Ginori Conti, Castello di Albola pays tribute to this land’s most precious fruit, Sangiovese, in search of its purest expressions.

From Pian d’Albola a constellation of cru extends between ancient farms and oak woods, reaching up to the highest peaks in the Chianti hills, sketching an extraordinarily beautiful landscape. The vineyards of Castello di Albola, each with diverse soil composition, altitude and exposure to sunlight, yield wines of exceptional finesse and elegance, with subtle and sophisticated nuances tending to an ideal model of harmony and perfection.
