Querciabella Chianti Classico 2022
DOZEN: $702.00 or $58.50 each
Stylish and seductive, Querciabella’s 2022 leads with rooibos, mace and mocha atop dark red cherry. The palate is polished with sophisticated sweet oak spice tucked into the ripe and generous fruit core. Suede-like tannins expand, weaving smoothly throughout, while Sangiovese's brilliant acidity makes this sparkle. Splendid completeness and energy. Long-time winemaker Manfred Ing remains at the helm of production. DECANTER
Pouring a youthful jeweled ruby color, the 2022 Chianti Classico is entirely Sangiovese from Greve, Lamole, and Radda. (The producers have stopped using fruit from Gaiole in the blend, as they are concentrated on vines closer to home, including the higher elevation site in Lamole for freshness.) The nose is very pretty and fruity, with aromas of mixed berries, crushed flowers, and sweet earth. Medium to full-bodied, it’s elegant on the palate, with a fresh feel, fine tannins, and a refined texture. It is elegant all the way through and is going to offer a lot of pleasure over the next 10-12 years. JEB DUNNUCK
Deep ruby with orange tinges. Rich layered nose of cinnamon, marasca cherry and savoury spice notes. The fruit has a brooding intensity. Intense yet sleek with the perfect balance between cherry fruit and finely ground, chewy tannins. Will age well, no doubt. WALTER SPELLER, Jancis Robinson
This mid-weight, vibrant Chianti Classico has so much to offer.
The 2022 Chianti Classico is a polished, sophisticated wine. Dark red cherry, plum, blood orange, spice, cedar and new leather are front and center. Medium in body and layered, with terrific depth, the 2022 is a delight. ANTONIO GALLONI
