In the ancient lands of Castello di Albola, once home to noble Tuscan families, from the Pazzi to the
Acciaiuoli to the Ginori-Conti, vines have thrived for centuries, producing perfect fruit in these landscapes devoted to the
purest beauty. The high altitude, the diverse and particularly suitable soils,
the fortunate exposure form an ideal ensemble that shines with its own light in the luminous
Chianti Classico landscape: among vineyards that climb the hillsides, historic buildings, and
testimony of art. A dazzling jewel that requires daily dedication and constant care,
and rewards those who love it with extraordinary wines. Authentic wines with a seductive personality that
demand devotion and thoughtfulness, in the constant challenge of equaling the value of Castello di Albola
and doing justice to its wonder.

2017 Climate
The 2017 vintage was characterized by regular weather. After
a mild and fairly dry winter, a relatively cool early spring was recorded, with a humid April and a generally dry May.
The regular temperatures ensured excellent vegetative development and
perfect flowering. After the hot and dry months of June and July, the rainy August and a particularly mild September allowed
for consistent and regular grape ripening. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese harvest began in the first week of October.
Overall, it was a very good vintage in terms of quality.
Acciaiolo 2017
Acciaiolo is a sumptuous interpretation of the expressive power of the soils surrounding Castello di Albola: from a single vineyard of old vines, a rigorous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes lends character and elegance,
while a small percentage of Sangiovese outlines its most authentic nuances. The name pays homage to the Acciaiuoli family; in the glass, a precious wine
with a strong and graceful character, a soft and supple body, a
seductive bouquet, and an infinite palate.
