Hidden Tuscany Rating
Querciabella's IGT white from Greve in Chianti, a Chardonnay-Pinot Bianco blend fermented in steel and aged in barrels, rated 90 by James Suckling and Wine Spectator. Its limit: a price of €748.84, very high for an IGT white without top-level distinction.
IGT Toscana with no sub-zone mention, but Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco grape varieties linked to Greve in Chianti: real geographical anchoring, limited Tuscan typicity.
Two 90-point ratings named, James Suckling and Wine Spectator, with precise levels; producer Querciabella cited, but no very high-level distinction.
€748.84 for a 90-point IGT white made from an international blend: very excessive price for this rank, despite the crossed-out price of €855.92.
Precise pairings (fish, light antipasti, vegetarian dishes), fresh and fruity profile with floral notes, serving at 10-12 °C: a supple wine at the table.

Comment on noteThe wine
Far from Chianti clichés, I invite you to discover a rare expression of Tuscany: a white wine of unexpected finesse. This Toscana Bianco IGT from Querciabella is a gem that reveals another facet of this rich land, a perfect harmony between freshness and complexity.
Nestled in Greve in Chianti, the Querciabella estate is a pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture. It is here, in the heart of rolling landscapes, that this wine is born, the fruit of a philosophy respectful of the environment and biodiversity. The Toscana Bianco IGT is crafted from a balanced blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Bianco, two grape varieties that, under the winery's expert hand, reveal singular depth and elegance.
On tasting, its robe shimmers with luminous reflections, inviting discovery. On the nose, you will be charmed by fresh, fruity notes, where citrus, green apple and delicate floral touches mingle. A subtle minerality completes this aromatic bouquet. On the palate, the wine reveals a rich and complex structure, the fruit of fermentation in steel tanks followed by several months of aging in wooden barrels. This method gives the wine a silky texture and remarkable persistence, while maintaining balanced liveliness and freshness.
This Toscana Bianco IGT is an ideal companion for moments of sharing. I particularly recommend it with delicate fish dishes, light antipasti or vegetarian creations. Its freshness and complexity will enhance these dishes without masking them. It is the perfect wine for an elegant evening, a special occasion, or simply to treat yourself and enjoy a sensory journey to the heart of hidden Tuscany.
