Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you toward an experience that goes beyond simple tasting. This Chianti Classico Riserva from Querciabella is not just a wine; it is a manifesto, an ode to the Tuscan land, shaped by a biodynamic philosophy that respects every blade of grass and every ray of sunshine.
The Querciabella estate, nestled in the most prestigious areas of Chianti Classico, embodies a quest for purity and authenticity. Here, Sangiovese, the region's king grape variety, is cultivated with exemplary meticulousness, in accordance with organic and biodynamic principles. Every cluster is the fruit of rigorous selection, hand-picked in vineyards chosen for their superior viticultural vocation. It is this constant attention, from vineyard to cellar, that makes it possible to obtain a wine faithfully reflecting the unique characteristics of its terroir.
The 2020 vintage of this Chianti Classico Riserva displays an intense ruby red color, dotted with garnet highlights that assert themselves over time. On the nose, you will discover a complex and inviting bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, blend with floral, earthy and spicy touches, revealing the aromatic richness of Sangiovese. On the palate, this wine is a perfect balance: fine tannins and lively acidity give it remarkable freshness and drinkability. The aging in oak barriques, after fermentation in steel tanks, helps to round out the tannins and enrich the aromatic profile with spicy notes, without ever masking the natural fruitiness of Sangiovese. This wood maturation, lasting a minimum of 24 months, gives the wine increased complexity and depth, preparing it for long aging.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is the ideal companion for the robust flavors of Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside a succulent bistecca alla fiorentina, a red meat roast or a slow-cooked game dish. It will also elevate a platter of aged cheeses. But do not be mistaken, this wine is also an invitation to contemplation. You can enjoy it on its own, for a moment of meditation, to fully appreciate its complexity and its evolution over time. It is an experience I highly recommend, a sensory journey into the heart of authentic Tuscany.
