Querciabella Chianti Classico is a wonderful wine from the magical Tuscany. With every sip, you travel mentally to the beautiful village of Radda and hang out with the locals, drinking wine, eating prosciutto, and gazing at the blossomed vineyards.
Chianti Classico from Querciabella Winery is a unique wine that encompasses both the history and the new era, as the winery is the region's first biodynamic (since 2000). Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni, the man behind the winery, is obsessed with protecting the land and the environment, as they are the basis for every great wine. So, he made the decision to turn to biodynamic cultivation, while he was following organic farming principles since 1988. The winery's Chianti Classico consists of 100% Sangiovese, from the vineyards of the estate in the best villages of Chianti (Radda, Gaiole, Greve, Panzano). The very low yields per hectare (below 35 hl/ha) give incredible concentration and expressiveness to the wine. Once the fermentation is completed under controlled conditions, it matures in French oak barrels (5% only new, the remaining second and third use) for about 14 months. The wine is constantly being tasted from the barrel until it has reached the perfect spot! Then, it is bottled, and after staying in the bottle for some months, it reaches your glass, rich, velvety, and juicy.
We do not know if you visited Tuscany, but certainly, after this Chianti Classico from Querciabella Winery, it will become your next favorite destination!
