Description

Giuseppe (Pepito) Castiglioni, an industrial entrepreneur and lifelong wine lover bought a single hectare of a vineyard on a Tuscan hillside and set about creating an estate that now spans the breadth of the region. The name Querciabella means "Beautiful Oaks" as the vineyards in Ruffoli and Radda are surrounded by wonderful oak trees.  Querciabella’s commitment to creating extraordinary wines, without causing harm or disrupting the delicate balance of nature, will not waiver. It is this commitment that makes their wines as lively and beautiful as their land, and it is how they will continue to innovate and to inspire for decades to come. But the real secret is in the soil, the very same from which grow the mightiest of oaks.

Querciabella Riserva is the optimal result of the estate’s commitment to site selection. A superior Chianti Classico where the nuances of each vineyard meld harmoniously in a uniquely faceted expression of Sangiovese.

Tasting Notes

Lustrous crimson. Pure raspberry with the polish of oak, but barely noticeable. Beautiful precision on the palate with raspberry, jewel-like acidity and fine polished tannins. Gorgeous length and style

Food Pairing

Querciabella is a perfect food wine, pairing naturally with all sorts of Mediterranean and Levantine cuisine. It is best enjoyed alongside flavors of tomato and olive oil and doesn’t fear coming close to herbs and spices.
