Steeped in history, Castello di Albola can trace its ownership back to the 12th century and has passed through the hands of some of Tuscany's most important and influential noble families, such as the Acciaioli, the Samminiati, the Pazzi and the Ginori Conti princes. Committed to beauty and excellence, Castello di Albola is an exceptional source for wines that are elegant rather than coarse or blowsy. Our goal is to maintain this style and level of quality so our wines reflect the authenticity of its historic cellars, where one can find fine wines that have been ageing for decades and yet still have a taste of almost unreal freshness. Castello di Albola captures the essence of the Sangiovese variety with its often subtle and austere tones, capable of delighting all those who care to unlock its fascinating secrets.
