Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 1997
From Querciabella in Greve, Chianti Classico, the Chianti Classico Riserva 1997 is a refined Sangiovese from the estate’s finest parcels in Greve, Radda, and Gaiole on clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvested from organic, biodynamic vineyards, it’s aged in French oak barriques, offering a deep garnet hue with mature complexity.
Tasting Notes
A mature, elegant red with rich fruit and savory finesse, showcasing Chianti Classico’s terroir.
The nose reveals dried cherry, leather, and spice, with hints of sous bois and blood orange. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and refined, with integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of black pepper, oak, and a savory, mineral finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this red with Western dishes like grilled steak or lamb chops to highlight its mature fruit and spice. For Chinese cuisine, try 紅燒牛肉, 烤鴨, 孜然羊肉, 醬燒排骨, 香辣牛柳, or 滷牛腱 to complement its full body and savory notes. Ideal for hearty dinners or festive occasions.
