On the nose, La Querce offers a bouquet expressing ripe fruit, spices and subtle hints of graphite, anticipating a full and smooth taste. The tannins are silky, giving the wine an elegant and well-balanced structure. The finish is long and persistent, characterized by a pleasant fruit note.

This wine pairs beautifully with meat dishes, ideal to accompany Tuscan specialties such as peposo alla fornacina, thanks to its ability to harmonize with intense and robust flavors.

La Querce estate is located on Impruneta at the heart of the Chianti Colli Fiorentini. In its 42 hectares we grow vineyards and olive trees. It’s cultivated according to both tradition and innovation, limiting chemical interventions in order to reach the balance between soil and plants. As a result we obtain high quality products. Most fields face south in a wide valley; this helps to obtain sun exposure and light breeze during the harvest, so as to produce healthy grapes of great concentration.
