The quintessential modern Chianti, Querciabella is made from a slightly different blend each year, always dominated by Sangiovese. In 2003, the blend is 80% Sangiovese with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. The vineyards on the Querciabella estate in the heart of Chianti are all cultivated biodynamically.
Aged in a combination of new and older French \o7barriques\f7, Querciabella's Chianti Classico is every bit the aristocrat. It has both power and grace, a heady scent of cherries and herbs from the Tuscan hillsides along with soft ripe tannins and a bright acidity that makes it sing with food.
