Albola’s regular Chianti Classico, a blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo, was aged for two months in Slavonian oak casks. The color is a light-medium ruby and the nose shows moderate amounts of fresh berry with a touch of oak. It has a good structure but simple fruity flavors, 12.5% alcohol and a medium finish with a hint of cedar.
