About this wine

Querciabella is a renowned producer of Chianti Classico DOCG wines, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. The winery has a rich history dating back to the 1970s when it was founded by Sebastiano Castiglioni. The name Querciabella translates to "beautiful oak" in Italian, which is a nod to the oak trees that surround the vineyards.

The winery is known for its commitment to biodynamic and organic farming practices, which are reflected in the quality of their wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG produced by Querciabella is made from Sangiovese grapes, which are grown on the estate's vineyards. The grapes are carefully selected and handpicked to ensure only the best quality fruit is used in the winemaking process.

The wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, which gives it a complex and rich flavour profile. The aroma is characterised by notes of red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, as well as hints of spice and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a long and satisfying finish.

Querciabella's Chianti Classico DOCG is a perfect example of the traditional style of Chianti wines. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including pasta, pizza, and grilled meats. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, as it is both complex and easy to drink.

Overall, Querciabella is a producer that is committed to producing high-quality wines using sustainable and organic farming practices. Their Chianti Classico DOCG is a testament to their dedication to excellence and is a must-try for any wine lover.
