Castello d'Albola Acciaiolo Toscana 2016 750mL

Appellation: Toscana IGT Area: Radda in Chianti (Siena) Grapes: 65% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon   Vinification and ageing: The grapes are slightly over-ripe because they are picked late (2nd - 8th October) after a previous selection to discard the less promising bunches. The must ferments for 10 days in vertical vinification tanks, where the wine then remains for 15 days to macerate after the fermentation. Maturation takes place in new, two year-old barriques for 14 months, followed by an extra six months in stainless steel tanks and another six in the bottle.
