Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills undulate under the sun. This Chianti Classico Riserva from Querciabella is an invitation to that sensory journey, a pure and elegant expression of Sangiovese that whispers stories of terroir and tradition to you.
The Querciabella estate, nestled in the Chianti Classico appellation, is a true pioneer. I particularly appreciate their approach to viticulture, entirely organic and biodynamic. They cultivate their vines with deep respect for the environment, seeking to magnify the expression of this unique terroir.
This wine is made from the Sangiovese grape, the undisputed king of Tuscany. After a traditional fermentation in steel tanks and a long maceration, it ages for a minimum of 24 months. It is this process that gives it its complexity and depth. Its color is an intense ruby red, with garnet reflections that deepen over time. On the nose, I perceive a rich and varied bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, enriched by nuances of spices, chocolate, tobacco and a light balsamic touch. On the palate, this wine reveals a solid structure, supported by silky tannins and a well-balanced acidity that gives it freshness and drinkability. The fruit flavors blend harmoniously with the spicy and toasted notes, leading to a long and persistent finish, where you will be able to detect a pleasant minerality and touches of aromatic herbs.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is the perfect companion for your gastronomic evenings. I recommend it with traditional Tuscan dishes, red meats, game or aged cheeses. It is a wine that invites contemplation, capable of offering you a deep tasting experience rich in nuances. It celebrates the beauty and richness of the Tuscan territory, offering you a gustatory and traditional journey.
