"93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2021 Chianti Classico is fabulous. Bright and punchy, with terrific resonance, this wine shows just how compelling the vintage is. Readers will find a Chianti Classico of dynamic energy and volume. Dark red cherry, purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, spice and a gentle kiss of French oak build into the sumptuous, vibrant finish. Superb. The 2021 was aged in 500-liter barrels (5-6% new) for 14 months and is a blend of fruit from Greve, Gaiole and Radda."
The name Querciabella is perfectly fitting for this Chianti estate, surrounded by a sheltering forest of magnificent trees. Twenty Twenty-Four marks the 50th vintage for the estate and the beginning of a new era with Mita Castiglioni, eldest daughter of Pepito, taking the reins. Under her leadership, Querciabella continues to be one of Italy's most innovative wineries, pioneering vegan and biodynamic practices. With the expertise of talented South African winemaker Manfred Ing, Querciabella consistently produces some of the purest expressions of Chianti Classico as well as Super-Tuscans with their acclaimed wines Camartina, Palafreno and one of Italy's most celebrated white wines, Batàr, alongside a range of exciting wines from the Maremma region.
