2019 La Querce Seconda Chianti

Aromas of tart red cherry, dried cranberry, dark plum, and fresh sage lead into a medium-bodied, savory palate. Flavors of red currant, orange zest, leather, and crushed stone join firm, crunchy tannins and prominent natural acidity through a dry, persistent finish.

Hand-harvested, organically farmed Sangiovese ferments in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts with prolonged skin contact. The wine ages entirely in concrete vats and large neutral tanks without oak influence, preserving varietal purity before bottling unfined and unfiltered.

Grapes are sourced from estate vineyards in San Casciano in Val di Pesa. Rooted in galestro and alberese soils, the vines sit at elevated altitudes within Chianti, benefiting from significant day-to-night temperature swings that promote slow ripening and preserve high natural acidity.
