Description

The Brunoro Chianti Classico from Castello di Querceto is a testament to the rich history and quality of Tuscan winemaking. Nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, the Castello di Querceto is a historic estate that has been producing wine since the 16th century. This wine is crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, the flagship varietal of the region, meticulously selected from the estate's best vineyards, representing the deep tradition of winemaking in the region.

The wine pours a deep ruby red, hinting at its concentration and character. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, particularly cherry and plum, complemented by earthy undertones, and subtle hints of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the Brunoro Chianti Classico displays a beautiful balance of structure and elegance. The tannins are firm yet refined, the acidity is refreshing, and the fruit is vibrant, leading to a long, satisfying finish. The wine is medium-bodied, reflecting its traditional style, a classic expression of Chianti Classico, highlighting the purity of Sangiovese fruit. It is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop a complexity and sophistication that makes it a versatile food pairing wine.

This wine is best enjoyed with hearty Italian fare. It is an excellent pairing for pasta with rich tomato-based sauces, roasted meats, such as lamb or game, and aged cheeses. Its structure and acidity cut through richness, while its fruit notes complement savory flavors. Ideally, the Brunoro Chianti Classico should be served at around 18°C to allow its full range of aromatics and flavors to come forward. No need for extra rest before consumption, as this one is ready to be enjoyed. The wine is bottled in a classic corked wine bottle. It represents a beautiful example of the region's best red wines.
