WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 is produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes. A key technique employed by Querciabella is the separate vinification of each vineyard parcel, allowing for precise control and expression of individual terroirs. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 14 to 16 months in French oak barrels and tonneaux, with a portion of new oak used. The harvest for the 2019 vintage took place between late September and mid-October. The winery's approach is guided by a commitment to organic and plant-based biodynamic farming practices, aiming to produce wines that reflect the purity of the fruit and the distinctiveness of their origin.
