Chianti Classico, Gran Selezione, S. Caterina 2017, Castello di Albola

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Santa Caterina takes its name from a single

vineyard covering just a little more than five hectares on a south-facing slope, at

an average altitude of 550 metres. It is a privileged parcel due to the composition

of the soil, rich in galestro (a rocky, schistous clay soil), and to the quality of the

Sangiovese grapes grown there. Vinified from a single variety, with a long ageing

period in wood barrels, they turn into a shiny wine in the glass, with an

invigorating scent and a strong, long-lasting taste that encapsulates the very soul

of Castello di Albola.
