The wine

Querciabella Riserva: The Soul of Chianti Classico

Let me guide you towards a Tuscan gem, a wine that embodies the passion and commitment of an estate. This Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva from Querciabella is not just a bottle, it is an invitation to a sensory journey into the heart of authentic Tuscany.

The Terroir Shaped by Biodynamics

Nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, the Querciabella estate is a fervent advocate of organic and biodynamic farming. It is in this deep respect for the land that this wine is born, made mainly from the Sangiovese grape, complemented by other Tuscan varieties, and whose 2018 vintage reveals all its splendour. Every bunch is a pure expression of this very particular terroir.

From the very first glance, its intense and seductive ruby red colour will captivate you. On the nose, you will discover a rich and complex aromatic profile: notes of ripe red fruits mingle with soft spices, nuances of aromatic herbs, tobacco and chocolate. A subtle minerality and a light balsamic vein add depth. On the palate, this wine offers an elegant tannic structure, balanced by a vibrant acidity that gives it freshness and longevity. The flavours of cherry, blackberry and plum intertwine with notes of vanilla, leather and a light toastiness, leading to a long and persistent finish, full of harmony.

An Ideal Companion for the Tuscan Table

Imagine this Chianti Classico Riserva accompanying a robust dish of Tuscan cuisine. I recommend it with grilled red meats, a slow-cooked game dish or aged cheeses. Its assertive character and complexity will make it the perfect partner for these rich and flavourful dishes.

This wine is a celebration, an experience to be shared on special occasions. It represents Querciabella's commitment to creating wines that are true ambassadors of quality and sustainability. Let yourself be tempted by this remarkable expression of Sangiovese, a wine that will speak to you of Tuscany with eloquence and passion.
