“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.”

"Greve in Chianti. 100% Sangiovese aged for 16 months in tonneaux and barriques. Mid to deep crimson. At first a little voluminous on the nose but with aeration great focus. Cherry and cranberry with whiffs of cigar box. Surprisingly tangy on the palate for this vintage and almost a little racy. Sour-cherry fruit lined with fine chewy tannins. Closes up a little and needs at least another year in bottle. I have no doubt this will improve and score higher in the future."
