Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2016
From Querciabella in Greve, Chianti Classico, the Chianti Classico Riserva 2016 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 ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes

The nose reveals cranberry, red cherry, and spring blossoms, with hints of vanilla and potting soil. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and polished, with tangy acidity, sinewy tannins, and flavors of forest herbs, anise, and a savory, mineral finish.
