Quercia al Poggio – Chianti Classico with tradition and character
In the heart of Tuscany, nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti Classico, lies the traditional Quercia al Poggio winery. Here, wines are created that reflect the beauty and authenticity of this renowned wine region – characterized by a deep connection to nature, sustainable viticulture, and a profound bond with the terroir.
Located in the municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle in the province of Florence, the winery cultivates its vineyards with great respect for nature. The combination of altitude, calcareous soils, and the unique microclimate of Chianti Classico creates ideal conditions for elegant and age-worthy wines.
At the heart of Quercia al Poggio's work is the region's most important grape variety: Sangiovese. This traditional Tuscan grape variety displays its full expressiveness here – with fine acidity, elegant structure, and typical aromas of red fruits, spices, and Mediterranean herbs.
The Chianti Classico DOCG from Quercia al Poggio embodies the classic style of this celebrated appellation. It combines freshness, elegance, and drinkability with the typical characteristics of Sangiovese. A versatile wine that pairs perfectly with traditional Italian dishes such as pasta, pizza, game, or aged cheeses.
The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG represents even greater depth and complexity. Through extended aging, the wine develops additional structure, harmonious tannins, and an impressive array of aromas. Notes of ripe cherries, spices, and subtle oak nuances combine to create an elegant and age-worthy red wine that showcases the great potential of Chianti Classico.
Quercia al Poggio pursues a clear ambition: to produce wines that are not driven by short-term trends but authentically express the origin and character of their landscape. Each vintage tells the story of the soil, the climate, and the people behind the wine.
