2018 Querciabella Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

100% Sangiovese

Great acidity combined with well-ripened tannins, excellent structure and just as much flavour make 2018 one of the most balanced vintages of the last decade. After an early budburst due to warm temperatures at the beginning of Spring and abundant rainfall in May, the growing season proceeded smoothly throughout a dry Summer. The near-perfect conditions that followed, lasting well into October, and our great precision in picking brought to the cellar grapes of exceptional quality.

Ruffoli, Greve in Chianti. The galestro and sandstone soils and the high altitude at over 500 m a.s.l. lend to Sangiovese wines great depth, balance, and brilliant acidity.
