True to the saying that “the whole should be greater than the sum of its parts”, Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva is an exquisite blend of the finest Sangiovese grapes sourced from the estate’s high-altitude vineyards.

Our unique micro-vinification process ensures that our Querciabella Riserva perfectly balances complexity, drinkability, and finesse. It is this commitment to creating an exceptional and multifaceted expression of Sangiovese that sets us apart. By individually fermenting and barreling each batch, we nurture the distinct qualities of each vineyard, ensuring these characteristics are beautifully preserved and expressed in the final blend.

Although Querciabella produced a sought-after Riserva only in the very best vintages up to 1999, the estate did not release another Riserva until 2014, with the 2011 vintage. Each subsequent vintage has demonstrated remarkable concentration, balance, and harmony, cementing its status as one of the finest Sangiovese in Chianti Classico. With the release of the 2022 vintage, the Riserva continues to showcase precision, depth, and enduring character, reaffirming its prestige and distinction within the estate’s portfolio.
