Greve in Chianti, Lamole and Radda in Chianti.
Our Chianti Classico vineyards span Ruffoli, Lamole, and Radda, ranging from 350 to nearly 700 metres above sea level. In Ruffoli, higher sites sit on lighter, skeletal galestro soils, lending elegance and structure, while lower vineyards rest on galestro with clay, adding subtle weight and depth. Lamole, at almost 700 metres, has sandy soils with clay and schist, producing wines of lightness, aromatic lift, and refined structure. Radda, cooler and rockier, benefits from diurnal temperature swings and steady airflow, resulting in Sangiovese with darker fruit, finely structured tannins, vibrant acidity, and excellent ageing potential.

Bright ruby red with violet reflections, the 2023 Chianti Classico is a vibrant, polished expression of Sangiovese. Aromas of red cherry, plum, and blood orange mingle with hints of spice, cedar, and rose petal.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and supple, with a core of juicy red fruit framed by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that provide definition and length. Nuances of graphite, forest floor, and new leather add depth, while the finish is elegant, savoury, and persistent.
Querciabella Chianti Classico is a wine that feels at home wherever food is on the table. Supple, structured, and versatile, it thrives with Tuscan classics yet adapts effortlessly to dishes from across the globe. Its lively acidity embraces tomato-based recipes, while its depth and savoury notes complement richer, spicier, or more complex flavours. This is a wine made to enhance meals and bring people together.
