Querciabella
About Querciabella
Querciabella, founded in 1974 has always been considered somewhat of a trailblazer in Tuscany, having been a pioneer behind sustainable viticulture as they converted to organics in as early as 1988 and biodynamics in just 2000. Based in Greve within Chianti Classico, Querciabella today farms 74hectares of vines with the supremely talented South African winemaker Manfred Ing taking their wines to newer heights.

Vinous (93)The 2019 Batàr, 50% Chardonnay/50% Pinot Blanc, offers up an exotic mélange of tangerine peel, pineapple, spice and passionfruit. The move towards a more refined style here has paid off big-time. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95+)A very early tasting of this wine, which generally takes quite a while to show its best, the 2022 Batar has a silver/straw color and is fresh, opening with notes of fresh melon, crushed almonds, hints of vanilla, quince, and lilac. Full-bodied, this vintage offers a refreshing spine of acidity, and its perfume persists on the long, gently tapering finish. It’s only going to gain in depth and come together. It has more crunchiness in this vintage at this stage and will benefit from another few years in bottle. Drink 2026-2038. 16,300 bottles produced. |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Camartina is going to need a few years to open. That will be helpful as the wine ages, but it also means the Camartina does not have the opulence readers are likely to expect in this warm, dry year. Time in the glass brings out brighter tonalities of fruit and floral overtones that give a good idea to where the 2017 is heading. Readers should be in no rush here. |

Vinous (94+)The 2018 Camartina is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Dark, brooding and quite closed, the 2018 is going to require cellaring and a good bit of patience, too. Dark-fleshed fruit, leather, spice, menthol and grilled herbs emerge with some coaxing. The Cabernet is quite evident in both the flavor profile and overall structure, which likely explains the wine's general feel today. |

Vinous (96)The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is ample, rich and quite seductive, which is to say very much in the style of the year. Dark red fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and incense all build as the 2017 shows off its considerable allure. This is so expressive today. |

Vinous (94)Querciabella's 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva is fabulous. Sweet perfumed aromatics open up first as this silky, mid-weight Riserva shows off its allure. The warm, dry vintage notwithstanding, Querciabella turned out a gracious, mid-weight Riserva that is incredibly elegant. The 2017 changes constantly in the glass, revealing different sides of its personality over time. It's the perfect wine for the dinner table. |
