This is a fabulous set of wines from Querciabella. Even in a tricky vintage like 2012, Querciabella has come through with flying colors. The new 100% Sangiovese cru wines, which remain unnamed and unreleased, are special. Kudos to proprietor Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni for being the first Chianti Classico producer to make a concerted effort to showcase the personalities of specific sites. Sometimes it takes an outsider to fully realize the potential of a region, and in this regard - specifically the quest to explore and understand the uniqueness of various sites, and then to bottle wines from those vineyards so that we might understand their intrinsic qualities - Querciabella stands head and shoulders above any other estate in Chianti Classico. It's as simple as that.
