Castello di Querceto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Picchio 2020

Rich and structured wine with a unified equilibrium of firm tannins, good acidity, and a fruity profile, featuring blackberries on the palate. A well-crafted wine with a good aging potential.

Decent Chianti that meets expectations, but not in particular memorable or noteworthy. The nose is shaped by by dried fruit and jam, but the tongue features a mix of raisin, dried fruit, and red bilberry. Overall, it's a solid, if unremarkable, wine.

Ruby to garnet color, with a rich, polished consistency that gradually deepens to a deep, bold garnet hue. The nose reveals a subtle, fruity cherry leather note, at the same time the palate is shaped by a smooth, elegant oak trace that adds richness and complexity. The follow through is long and satisfying, with a soft acidity that leaves the flavor feeling refreshed and revitalized.
