Scores

Mid ruby with dark centre and surprisingly youthful looking. Very fine, spicy nose, with the beginning of tobacco. Juicy cherry fruit and muscular, powdery tannin. Finish shows pure fruit flavours harnessed by muscular tannin. I love the palate weight of this wine. Score: 17.5+ Points Walter Speller

Tasting Notes

This beautifully evolved wine retains its incredible core of pure dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit, spicy dried herbs and tea leaves, framed by tightly knit tannins and a svelte, gentle texture. There is incredible concentration here but a gentle, almost ethereal quality lingers in the mouth and creates a heady, aromatic perfume. Elegant yet powerful, this is a stunning wine that deserves to be enjoyed now though undoubtedly has a bright future ahead. This is very much Querciabella?s iron fist in a velvet glove.

ProducerQuerciabella

The name Querciabella is perfectly fitting for this Chianti estate, surrounded by a sheltering forest of magnificent trees. Twenty Twenty-Four marks the 50th vintage for the estate and the beginning of a new era with Mita Castiglioni, eldest daughter of Pepito, taking the reins. Under her leadership, Querciabella continues to be one of Italy's most innovative wineries, pioneering vegan and biodynamic practices. With the expertise of talented South African winemaker Manfred Ing, Querciabella consistently produces some of the purest expressions of Chianti Classico as well as Super-Tuscans with their acclaimed wines Camartina, Palafreno and one of Italy's most celebrated white wines, Batàr, alongside a range of exciting wines from the Maremma region.
