"Querciabella" Chianti Classico Docg 2020

You couldn't ask more from a wine. For elegance, power and refinement. We are talking about Querciabella's Chianti Classico DOCG, one of the noblest expressions of the typical Tuscan red. In this case, the Sangiovese vineyards used for the production of the wine are distributed in different areas of the Classica zone, i.e. the most historic, of Chianti. At altitudes ranging from 350 to 550 metres above sea level, where very different microclimates characterise the grapes harvested. Once in the cellar, the grapes are first destemmed and then sent to steel vats, where spontaneous fermentation takes place. Then, after racking and complete malolactic fermentation, the wine is put into barriques and tonneaux mainly used for its maturation period. Intense ruby red, notes of red fruit and delicate spices clearly emerge on the nose. Hence violet and liquorice. A fine, elegant red, thanks to the perfect blend of different terroirs, this Chianti Classico is perfectly balanced, with ripe, fine tannins and a long, pleasant finish. Chianti Classico, especially as rich as this, calls for the most traditional of pairings, that with T-bone steak, and a side of white beans seasoned with a drizzle of oil.
