Gran Selezione

Castello di Querceto produces two single-vineyard Gran Selezione from its 70-hectare expanse in Greve. Replanted in 1993, Il Picchio reaches 450 metres above sea level and is a relatively cool site surrounded by forest, with an east to southeast exposure. Nevertheless, the warm growing season confers a plushness and generosity to the 2021 release. Still very youthful, even reductive, it pushes forth intense blackberry subtly accented by leather and grilled rosemary. Chock full, the weighty palate remains fresh, echoing the exuberance of the nose. Fleshy blue plum is enfolded in pliant, chewy tannins, and it finishes with cedar and chocolate.
