2015 Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

Description

The Sangiovese grape has ancient and uncertain and come in two distinct types: the Sangiovese Grosso, big, cultivated in Montalcino (and Chianti's Greve, where Querciabella is located) and the Sangiovese piccolo, small, which is widely planted both in Tuscany and outside.

The Sangiovese Grosso is used for traditionally powerful and slow-maturing red wines such as the Brunello di Montalcino and is considered to be superior. It is also grown in the Greve in Chianti region. The Sangiovese grosso is slow and late to ripen, which gives a rich, alcoholic and long-lived wine.

A perfect blend of the best single vineyards in the estate, Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva sits comfortably among the very top of Querciabella wines and is bottled solely in the best vintages. It's organically and biodynamically produced vegan wine.
