Winemaking
The grapes are carefully selected and harvested by hand in the Ruffoli single vineyard in Greve, Chianti, situated over 500 m above sea level. After gentle pressing, the grapes ferment on the mash in stainless steel for five weeks at a controlled temperature. Patient malolactic fermentation takes place in barrique and tonneau barrels, followed by the 18-month maturation period, followed by storage in the bottle for at least 12 months.
Our tasting note
Luminous, vibrant ruby red. Delicate aromas of dark cherry, dried roses, peach, bay leaf and mint on the nose. The wine is full-bodied with a delicious, multi-layered array of aromas on the palate. Stunning interplay of stone fruits, herbs and spices. Wonderfully creamy and long-lasting, with fantastic purity.
Querciabella
Querciabella is one of the most respected wine producers in Tuscany, situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone in the municipality of Greve, south of Florence. Founded in 1974 by Giuseppe Castiglioni, the estate is now under the stewardship of his daughter, Mita Castiglioni, who continues the family’s legacy with a renewed vision for the future. With over 50 hectares of organic vineyards in Chianti Classico, including new holdings in Lamole acquired in 2020, and an expanded 41-hectare coastal estate in Maremma, Querciabella remains dedicated to crafting wines of exceptional quality. A new state-of-the-art winery is currently under construction in Greve, reinforcing the estate’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and excellence. Querciabella’s philosophy is deeply rooted in land stewardship and responsible governance, values now enriched by the leadership of Mita and her children, Andrea and Selene. While the estate’s wines continue to be certified organic and vegan, its approach has evolved to emphasize community engagement, transparency, and environmental responsibility. Inspired by biodynamic principles but not bound by certification, Querciabella focuses on producing wines that express the purity and character of their terroir, while embracing a forward-thinking, sustainable future.
