Winemaking

The three grape varieties are harvested by hand and then individually aged for a period of 16 months in French barriques, consisting of 20% new wood. The grape varieties are then blended in cement tanks before the finished wine rests in the bottle for a further year prior to release on the market.

Our tasting note

Dark, almost impenetrable ruby red. The Turpino - Querciabella's top wine from the Maremma region - is elegant and yet highly expressive. The nose is dominated by aromas of black cherry, plum, mocha, spices and liquorice. Wonderfully balanced on the palate with flavours of pepper, tobacco and Mediterranean herbs. Powerful, round and soft with a long-lasting finish.

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.
