CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA CASTELLO D'ALBOLA 2021 DESCRIPTION

The Chianti Classico Riserva is one of the most representative products of Castello d'Albola, certainly the one with the best quality/price ratio. Borns from the best Sangiovese grapes of the estate and is left to rest in oak barrels for two years. We are among the vineyards in Radda in Chianti, in Pian d'Albola, about 400 meters above sea level; here, with a perfect exposure to the South, lies the vineyard from which it takes the form the Chianti Classico Riserva by Castello d'Albola; the vines over 20 years, the soil has a clayey and a considerable presence of skeleton. An extraordinary landscape, perhaps unique, rich wine history that dates back to the Medioevo. Villas and castles, endless rolling hills and meadows: in these places is born the Chianti Classico Riserva, a Tuscan red wine based on Sangiovese and Canaiolo which is offered with a great texture that blends perfectly tannins and sweetness, flavor and richness a nose that gives bouquet of fruit and dried flowers, violet and black pepper. This Chianti Classico Riserva we find all the elegance and softness of this terroir; we find the succulence of Sangiovese, its persistence; we find the story of a great terroir...
