Castello di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva is a truly lovely Chianti with powerful notes of red fruit and a standout savoury character.
Castello di Querceto is a family winery founded in 1740, and now the fifth generation has taken up winemaking. Today they focus on the development of premium Chianti wines using the most treasured grape varieties of the Tuscan region.
The family at Castello di Querceto make a very fine example of Chianti Classico indeed. It is 92% Sangiovese, with the remainder being made up of Colorino, Canaiolo, Mammolo, and Ciliegiolo.
This wine uses grapes from vines grown at between 350-500 metres altitude, with an average vine age of between 20-40 years. It aged carefully in Allier, Limousine and Troncais barrels for 10-12 months. This wine has a soft and elegant body and will age for 15-18 years.
It spends at least 12 months ageing in mostly old oak. It shows the black tea, smoke, cherry, and plum fruit that make Chianti Classico so great. The tannins boast a polished and chalky character, bolstered by a crunchy acidity. This is a full-bodied and commanding wine that shows especially well if it paired with beef, game, or strong hard cheese like pecorino or manchego.
Castello di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva will keep for 15 years after the vintage.
