WINE MAKING PROCESS
Castello di Albola Chianti Classico 2023 is produced using grapes fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by approximately two weeks of maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation occurs in steel. The wine is then aged for about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels, with subsequent bottle refinement. Harvesting is performed manually and mechanically. The estate utilizes certified organic viticulture practices.
