Winemaking
Single lots of Sangiovese mature for 14 months in fine to extra fine-grained oak barriques (225 l) and tonneaux (500 l),
and partially in largeroak vessels, before the final blend is assembled. The wine ages in thebottle for over a year before release.
100% vegan From vineyard to bottle, no animal products are used in any phase of our production.
Each vineyard is cared for on a lot by lot basis to respect the essence of each site. The same focus and precision in the cellar, allow for natural winemaking with minimal intervention, that preserves the purity of the fruit. After about 14 months in fine-grained oak barrels, and regular racking, only the best lots make it to the final blend. Once bottled, the wine rests patiently for a few more months before release.
This patient maturation adds a layer of softness and enhances the varietal fruit notes typical of quality Sangiovese. Querciabella Chianti Classico is, in fact, a perfect foil for food, the crispness and the roundness make it perfectly suitable for a wide variety of flavours and cuisines.
