Award-winning traditional Tuscan wine, the 1999 wine has deep garnet-ruby red color, complex nose of red and dark fruit and typical Sangiovese spices and elegant flavors of black cherry, exotic spices and a touch of leather; the balance between the expressive fruit flavors and well-developed tannins is impressive; allow an hour of breathing and enjoy with Italian meat and cheese dishes and Chinese meat dishes; 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 Tuscan wines and modern Super Tuscans.
