VINTAGE
While more challenging for red varietals, the 2024 vintage is looking to produce high-quality, ageable wines. Cooler temperatures and earlier-than-average rainfall contributed to a leaner body, but preserved much of their vibrant fruit aromatics and acidity, providing a fresh and elegant structure. Although approachable at present, we anticipate excellent aging potential of our 2024 Quercia of up to 10 years, if not more.
VINEYARDS
Our most exclusive production of Sangiovese, this wine is made from our most prized vineyards here on the estate. The elevation and slope of the vineyards favours a long growing season, which allows us to let the grapes reach an optimal maturity. This vintage saw cooler temperatures at the end of summer,
VINIFICATION
Once harvested, this fruit is carefully hand selected before undergoing a cold maceration period, followed by fermentation. Fermentation is finished in new French barrique, followed by a minimum of 10 months ageing. After the ageing period, only the finest four barrique are carefully selected for this exceptional wine.
TASTING NOTES
The resulting blend is structured and complex, yet elegant and refined. On the palate, rich fruit characteristics are enhanced by floral notes and spices, complemented by a silky tannin structure and a soft finish.
