Querceto • Chianti Docg

Youthful aroma with notes of ripe fruits & sour cherries. Tasting notes bright ruby in colour with delicious savoury aromas of cherry and spice. Medium bodied with fresh acidity this is the perfect food wine. Producer: castello di querceto located in the heart of the chianti classico region just 25 kilometres from florence and not much further from siena is castello di querceto today home to the francois family. Their residence dates from the 16th century although these buildings were erected only to replace those that had burnt down shortly before; there is perhaps much more history on this estate which lies on the via cassia imperiale a road constructed by emperor adriano in the year 123 ad than we realise. At the time of the reconstruction this was home to the canigliani family and thereafter the pitti family before it came into the hands of carlo francois in 1897. It is alessandro francois a descendent of carlo that has taken the reins at this estate since 1978.
