Example of a good, inexpensive Chianti wine, this wine is almost 80% Sangiovese with a youthful ruby red color, fragrant scents of red cherries and other red fruits and ripe fruit flavors balanced by good acidity and light tannins; this light to medium bodied wine is an enjoyable summer wine best served slightly chilled; match with chicken or pork dishes as well as elegant fish; owned and managed by the dynamic Alessandro Francois whose French ancestors settled in Tuscany in 1897, Castello di Querceto is a multi award-winning Tuscan producer of very good value traditional Chianti and Chianti Classico wines as well as modern styled Super Tuscans.
