- Vintage info
- Great acidity combined with well-matured tannins, excellent structure and equal taste make 2018 one of the most balanced vintages of the past decade. After an early budding due to warm temperatures at the beginning of spring and abundant rainfall in May, the growing season proceeded smoothly during a dry summer. The near-perfect conditions that lasted well into October and our great precision in picking brought grapes of exceptional quality to the cellar.

Querciabella
Once upon a time, an industrialist and lifelong wine lover, Giuppe Castiglioni, decided in 1974 to buy a single hectare of vineyard on a Tuscan hillside. He dreamed of producing rich, elegant wines, not only from indigenous Sangiovese grapes, but also from those typical of Bordeaux and Burgundy. As early as 1988, his son Sebastiano converted to organic viticulture, one of the first in Italy. While many wineries were still considering the organic trend, in 2000 Querciabella even took the step towards a 100% plant-based approach to biodynamics. Yes, vegan wine, no animal products whatsoever. Today, the family owns 100 hectares of vineyards, one part in the Chianti Classico, flanked by oak forests and rolling hills, the other part in the Maremma, bordering the unspoilt beauty of the Tuscan coastline. Querciabella is simply one of Italy's best and most innovative wine estates, period!
