Querciabella 2020 Chianti Classico

Proper barnyard intro, followed by black cherry, currants, violets, earth and soft wood tones. Medium-full, spicy and firm-ish on the palate, with darker core of ripe fruit, marked acidity and dusty tannins. Everything in place, just somewhat holding back and chalky in texture. Have enough Querciabella straight Chianti Classico under my belt to tell this is another ugly duckling. — ★★★½

Appellation: Chianti Classico Region: Chianti, Toscana, Italy Subzone: Greve, Lamole, Radda and Gaiole Cépage: 100% Sangiovese Abv: 14% Production: 170,000 Élevage: 12 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux (10% new), 3 months in bottle Distributor: Asiaeuro

Critic Reviews:

The 2020 Chianti Classico is bright, fresh and nicely lifted, with terrific precision and energy lending quite a bit of character. Bright red Sangiovese fruit, spice and a touch of blood orange are front and center. Even so, the 2020 appears to still be recovering from its bottling. That should not be an issue in another 6-12 months' time. This is the first vintage that includes fruit from parcel in Greve's Lamole district. Drink: 2024-2032. Antonio Galloni (Vinous, 06/2022) 92

The 2020 Chianti Classico is impressive and pure, with ripe black cherry, a hint of blue fruit, violets, and sweet herbs. It is medium to full-bodied, with supple fruit throughout, fine grained tannins, and a polished feel. It displays fresh acidity without any harsh edges, but it is mouthwatering and compels returning for more. This beautiful wine from Querciabella is drinking well now, and I imagine will continue to improve over the coming decade or more. Audrey Frick (Jeb Dunnuck, 01/2023) 93

Shows black cherry and plum fruit accented by orange peel, earth and spices. Delivers dusty tannins, which lend support as this firms up on the finish. Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator, 05/2023) 88

Lustrous mid ruby. Perfumed and concentrated on the nose and finely balanced on the palate. Lots of polished tannins and vibrant red fruit. Suave and long. Walter Speller (Jancis Robinson, 02/2023) 17.5

With an annual production of approximately 150,000 bottles, this is Querciabella’s calling card – and an impressive one at that. It also gives an incisive panoramic shot of the Chianti Classico region as it's a blend of estate vineyards in three different subzones. Bright and fresh, the 2020 annata emerges energetically out of the glass with exuberant and pure red cherry and currants. It gains intrigue with stylish touches of mocha, tarragon and truffles. It's full and vigorous yet light on its feet thanks to radiant acidity, while well-formed tannins lend just the right amount of chew. As suave as it is characterful. Michaela Morris (Decanter, 02/2023) 92

A delightfully tart nose is full of Rainier cherries and dried cranberries, with undertones of minerality and herbaceousness. The palate runs with the cherries and adds oranges to the mix, with a latent heat and a thrilling amount of acidity elevating a minty freshness through the finish. Danielle Callegari (Wine Enthusiast, 11/2023) 92

Chianti Bella

Ahhh that glorious funk of Chianti! You know–back a couple decades in my early days of wine-appreciation–I was troubled by this note, something I think a LOT of young wine drinkers feel, but as palates mature away from the California sweet-tooth and the typicity of a region becomes sacred, appreciation grows until there becomes a firm line between *Italian Sangiovese* and *Chianti*. Clear…

Le vin du coq noir

Le vin du coq noir

Toute une histoire pour ce vin dont l’ampleur du vignoble fut départagée par un gallinacé noir. Souvent dénigré par le passé à cause de sa bouteille en osier qui une fois vidée, servait de bougeoir, il mérite qu’on s’attarde à ses multiples facettes car force est de constater qu’on est loin du Château “Spaghat” ! Découverte ou redécouverte du fameux chianti classico*. Par Frédéric Arnould…

[100ita]

The vineyards from which Batàr originates have been organically farmed since the wine’s first vintage: 1988. A full conversion to biodynamic techniques was later carried out in 2000. The Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay grapes are processed through micro-vinification: pressing, fermentation and élevage are conducted separately, on a lot-by-lot basis. Grapes are picked in 8 kilo crates and juice is gently extracted with a bladder press. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in French barriques, where the separate lots also undergo full malolactic fermentation. Barrel maturation takes 9 to 12 months. Once élevage is complete, lots are selected, through extensive sampling, for the final blend. After blending, the wine is transferred into cement tanks for a period of six months. The wine is then bottled and rests for a further six months before release. It is best to consume Batàr once the wine has reached maturity, approximately three and a half to four years after harvest. The wine’s maturity plateau is four to twelve years after harvest. No animal products or byproducts are used in the production of this wine, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Querciabella

Querciabella 2015 Chianti Classico

Shimmering mid ruby. Imagine holding a beautiful red fruit basket of freshly picked cherry and raspberry, standing amid a field of violets, greeted by breezes carrying whiffs of nutty oak and nearby barnyard. Needs air to lift that initial black fruited veil though. Mid-weight elegance through and through, with moreish fruit, iron, bright acidity and creamy suppleness. A touch of bitter cherry pit to close. Transparency comes through loud and clear. A totem of reassurance in these unprecedented times. Cross-village blend of 40% Greve, 40% Gaiole and 20% Radda. — ★★★★

Appellation: Chianti Classico Region: Chianti, Toscana, Italy Subzone: Greve, Radda and Gaiole Cépage: 100% Sangiovese Abv: 14% Production: 100,000 Élevage: 12 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux (10% new) Distributor: Asiaeuro

Critic Reviews:

The 2015 Chianti Classico, 100% Sangiovese, is all class. The flavors are vibrant and lively, with plenty of bright red cherry and strawberry character. This is an especially understated, finessed wine for the year. The Chianti Classico is a blend of approximately 40% Greve, 40% Gaiole and 20% Radda fruit. All the elements come together beautifully. Antonio Galloni (Vinous, 01/2018) 92

Rich, round and expressive, featuring black cherry, black currant, earth and iron aromas and flavors. The pure fruit notes are offset by distinctly Tuscan accents, with a hint of herbs on the finish. Fine balance. Best from 2020 through 2032. Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator, 10/2018) 92

(100% Sangiovese. Aged in French oak barriques and tonneaux, of which 10% were new, for 12 months.) Mid cherry red. Beautifully scented. Floral as well as red-fruited and a touch of fruit and oak spice. The oak seems to have thickened the tannins slightly but they are rounded and thus supple. There’s depth of fruit and texture and excellent harmony. Slight heat on the finish, or it might have scored a little higher. Drink: 2019-2028. Julia Harding (JancisRobinson.com, 10/2018) 16.5

The 2015 Chianti Classico Querciabella adopts a soft and creamy style that adds momentum to the bouquet and palate. The quality of fruit is soft and enriched with deep cherry, chocolate and toasted espresso. It is an oak-driven wine for sure, but the deep inner ripeness of the fruit harvested in 2015 is more than enough to even things out and give balance. This Chianti Classico should pair seamlessly with your favorite Italian regional dishes. Some 100,000 bottles were produced. Monica Larner (Wine Advocate, 10/2017) 90

Quersive

Extremely inexpensive IGT in a punt-less bottle I purchased based on a glowing wine-writer review I saw the other day extolling the lush fruit and leather and berry throughout. And–in true wine-writer fashion–very little of that is apparent in my glass. Dark, nearly impenetrable maroon–bricking decidedly–the nose explodes with nearly-intolerable levels of minty eucalyptus and sharp acrid vegetal,…

Batàr Querciabella 2016 Igt Toscana 🌟🍊🥞 • • • • • • • • il caso e la caparbietà umane mettono insieme #chardonnay e #Pinotbianco in due vigne in quel di Ruffoli a Greve in Chianti, gli echi di Borgogna degli inizi si sciolgono oggi nelle ultime annate con un naso agrumato teso e affilato che indulge in momentanee dolcezze, robina resina camemoro ginestra e floreale di campo , sambuco , miele di erica e il suo corredo di zucchero cotto, crème caramel, butterscotch, anice per poi rivelarsi in un sorso ampio succoso dove si affacciano note tropicali a ricordare una tempesta in un bosco di frangipane e gardenie. Freschezza e carnosità fuse insieme su ondate di flint e sale. Splendido già adesso ma ha i crismi della longevità distintiva. • • • • • #querciabella #manfreding #chianticlassico #andreagori #wine #winelover #tasting #degustazione (presso Querciabella) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkE-3Wiooh/?igshid=1918go5qewjyc
