Riserva

Il Quercione is a 2.5-hectare south-facing plot planted in 1983. The low yielding vines give an uber-concentrated, lavish wine in 2015 with the heat of the vintage demonstrated by its 15.5% alcohol. It's oak-led at the moment – ageing is in 500L French oak tonneaux – offering nutmeg, cloves and vanilla. The tannins are chalky, framing a core of sweet, rich, ripe cherry, elevated by brightening acidity. The finish is a touch drying. Definitely expresses style over place.
