Querciabella PALAFRENO Tuscana IGT

Querciabella, founded in 1974 began life as a 1 hectare vineyard but today has 26 hectares of vines producing great wine with an international reputation. Concentrating on small yields where the emphasis is placed on concentration and richness of the fruit, the vineyard is run according to biodynamic priciples that exceed the European Standard.. Querciabella is a Chianti Classico DOCG that presently produces four wines from the vineyards of its Chianti Classico estate in Greve in Chianti. Batar is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc; Chianti Classico; Camartina a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon while Palafreno, a new release, is a blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. The grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards and harvested in 8 kilo crates. They are destemmed, but not crushed, then they are conveyed into temperature controlled stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place. After completing a full malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred into barriques. The oak is 100% French, and comes from Allier, Chatillon, Nevers, and Troncais. It is 30% new and 70% one year old or two year old for the Sangiovese, while it is 80% new for the other grapes. The wine is regularly racked and tasted during the whole barrel maturation, which may last up to 14 months. At the end of the élevage, the best lots are selected through extensive tasting, and they are assembled to create the final blend. After bottling, the wine rests for at least three months before release. This wine is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and a little Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon and is deep red in colour. The nose is full of concentrated ripe fruit and oak that develop on the palete as the dark fruit flavours combine well with the lively acidity and powerful tannic structure leading to an enjoyable, sophisticated finish. Magnum bottles available in Original Wooden Case. (6 x 1.5 Litres)
