In the world of Fine Wines, Querciabella stands out as a model of excellence among producers committed to working in balance with nature. Driven by the pioneering choices made by owner Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni, an environmentalist and cruelty-free champion, the estate has developed a unique plant-based approach that forbids the use of all animal-derived products from vineyard to bottle. Bare from pesticides, additives and unnecessary manipulations, Querciabella’s winemaking genuinely respects the undeniable bond between wines and their origin.
Founded in 1974 as a single hectare on the hillside of Greve in Chianti, the estate has since grown to over 80 hectares of organic vineyards across Chianti Classico – on the hillside of Ruffoli, in Lamole and Radda – and on the coast of Maremma. With dedication and precision, the different qualities of each site are brought to life and blended to perfection. Excellent wines – like Batàr, Camartina, Palafreno – are crafted for long ageing and sought after for their beautiful poise and complexity, while the Maremma range offers crispness, pleasant aromatics and a softer mouthfeel. It’s with the Chianti Classico DOCG wines, though, that Querciabella is building its legacy as a fine interpreter of the terroir through the purity of the Sangiovese grape.
