Biography
Nestled in the rolling hills of Radda in Chianti, Castello di Albola is a medieval village steeped in centuries of history, culture, and winemaking tradition. Since the 11th century, this land has been shaped by some of Tuscany’s most noble families, from the Acciaiuoli to the Samminiati, from the Pazzi to the Ginori Conti. In 1979, the estate became part of the Zonin Family, marking the beginning of a journey that blends deep respect for the past with an innovative vision for winemaking.
Today, Castello di Albola spans over 900 hectares, with 110 hectares of vineyards reaching altitudes of up to 650 meters above sea level. These unique conditions, combined with soils rich in alberese and galestro, contribute to the creation of elegant, long-lived wines known as Wines of Altitude. The pursuit of excellence goes hand in hand with a steadfast commitment to sustainability, with organic conversion initiated in 2016 and officially certified in 2022.
Among the estate’s outstanding wines, Acciaiolo stands out, a pure Cabernet Sauvignon that celebrates the connection between Castello di Albola and the historic Acciaiuoli family, whose legacy is deeply rooted in this land. This Supertuscan is the result of a meticulous selection of grapes from old vines, expressing remarkable elegance and depth. Its enveloping structure and captivating aromas make it a prestigious wine, offering a refined and modern interpretation of Chianti Classico.
