2017 Querciabella Chianti Classico DOCG Volume:375ml where the season seemed dialedThe 2017 vintage is one of the driest on records. The scarcity of rain, a cold winter, and a long, hot summer limited bunches and berries development, but also kept disease pressure low. Thanks to near perfect autumn conditions, we harvested healthy grapes with vibrant profiles and depth. The high skin to juice ratio of the berries and ripe tannins made it a fine start for elegant wines of tension and structure. Harvest dates: September 6October 10.
