Querciabella Chianti Classico 2019

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.

Carefully blended from the finest districts of the appellation, Querciabella Chianti Classico redefines Sangiovese with brilliance, clarity and a great depth of flavor. It has also been the centre piece of Querciabella’s winemaking operations since the winery’s debut. Consistently ranking at the highest levels of critical acclaim, it’s a real delight for wine and food enthusiasts all over the world.

Tasting Notes

A beautiful balancing act of crisp, inviting acidity, pure varietal fruit flavor and character deriving from sourcing the grapes from top sites in three of the the denomination’s best sub-zones. A wine and food lovers’ delight.

Food Pairing

This Chianti Classico 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.
