TASTING NOTES
'This is textbook Chianti. Black cherries and forest fruits overlay layers of tar and sweet licquorice, while the palate reveals breezy, crunchy red berries, all supported by a fabulously balanced and food-friendly structure ... 4 stars'
Decanter Magazine
Combining the crisp dark fruit and balanced acidity that one would expect from vineyards at 400 - 600m, with the smoke, leather and gamey notes of a great Chianti. 2007 was an excellent vintage at Querceto and this wine is already open and inviting although it will continue to improve over the next few years.
PRODUCER NOTES
According to the famed Gambero Rosso guide, “Castello di Querceto remains among the most impressive operations, with its entire line of wines riding high”.
The spectacular 65 hectare estate has been owned by the Francois family for over 100 years and the current owner Alessandro has overseen a significant rise in quality over the last decade, resulting in a great deal of critical acclaim, most notably from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
Querceto is one of the highest estates in the Chianti Classico zone and they are renowned for the freshness and elegance of their wines. They effortlessly combine classic Sangiovese characteristics with the silky and luxurious texture you would expect from one of the region’s best estates.
