Castello di Albola

The stone castle rises among the rolling hills of Tuscany, featuring traditional architectural elements including thick defensive walls and terracotta roof tiles.

The castle's strategic position made it a crucial defensive stronghold during the medieval conflicts between Florence and Siena in the Chianti region.

The castle maintains wine production traditions through its extensive vineyards, contributing to the Chianti Classico denomination with its specific grape cultivation methods.

Visitors can join guided tours of the castle grounds and wine cellars, followed by tastings of locally produced wines in the dedicated tasting room.

The castle's position at 580 meters above sea level provides natural temperature control for wine aging in its underground cellars.
