Chianti Classico Querciabella 2022

The Chianti Classico is the label that best interprets the spirit and style of the famous Tuscan winery Querciabella, which has become a solid reference point for all enthusiasts of the Chianti area. The impeccable management of the vineyards, the always excellent quality of the grapes, and a delicate winemaking process, give rise to a elegant, floral, and fruity wine. It is a high-level Sangiovese, which highlights the best qualities, not only of the grape variety but also of a territory with ancient traditions, long dedicated to viticulture. It is one of the most important bottles of the denomination, rightfully belonging to the elite of Tuscan wine.

The Chianti Classico wine from Querciabella is born in a model estate, managed with full respect for the environment, according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The vineyards are located in the municipalities of Greve, Radda, and Gaiole, in some of the most interesting qualitative areas of the Chianti Classico district and are surrounded by large wooded areas, which guarantee a rich biodiversity. The grapes come from parcels located at an altitude of between 350 and 550 meters above sea level, with sunny exposure facing southeast, south, and southwest. The soils are characterized by the presence of marls, sands, and clays. After destemming, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in stainless steel tanks, with a maceration on the skins of about a dozen days.  The wine matures for a year in barrique and tonneau, with only 5% of new wood.

The red Chianti Classico Querciabella is a paradigmatic wine, perfect for those who want to know the authentic face of the Chianti terroir summarized in a glass of great Sangiovese. Of a beautiful bright ruby red color, it offers delicate floral aromas of violet, fragrant notes of ripe cherry, red currant, hints of underbrush, aromatic herbs, licorice root, spicy nuances, and hints of graphite. The entry on the palate is harmonious, with a crunchy fruit and a tannic structure well integrated into the body of the wine. The sip is long and balanced, with a savory finish and a clear freshness.
