Description
Still organic red wine from Chianti Classico DOCG, 14% ABV, produced by Querciabella. 100% Sangiovese. A Chianti Classico that enchants with its elegance and complexity, produced by a winery that has always been committed to biodynamic viticulture. It enchants with aromas of undergrowth and walnut husk, tobacco, leather, sweet spices, and a typical bouquet of red fruit. A clear ruby color. The palate is warm, responsive, and soft. The finish is lingering. A wine that best expresses the Tuscan terroir, ideal for pairing with red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
