Palafreno Querciabella 2013 is a Chianti Classico sourced from the Cipresso and Marrone vineyards, which have been cultivated organically since 1988 and fully converted to biodynamic practices in 2000. This wine features a blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino grapes. The wine undergoes an élevage of 18 months in 25% new French oak barriques, known for their fine and extra-fine grain. Founded in 1974 by Giovanni Palli, Querciabella emphasises sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention, aiming to express the terroir of the vineyards they cultivate.

The terrific 2013 Palafreno, 100% Merlot, is pliant, supple and super-expressive. Plum, black cherry, menthol, licorice, spice and dried flowers add aromatic nuance. Silky tannins wrap around the creamy, inviting finish. This fruit was picked during the last week of September, which is very much on the late side for the Merlot at Querciabella.
