The wine

Description and technical sheet

Palafreno by Querciabella is crafted from 100% Merlot grapes sourced from two sites adjacent to the winery in the Greve in Chianti (FI) area. The vineyards, exposed to the south-west and south, grow on galestro-rich soils at an altitude of between 350 and 400 meters above sea level. After manual harvesting, the grapes were transported to the winery for red winemaking, which included a phase of spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. Each lot was aged for 18 months in fine and extra-fine-grained French oak barriques, with 30% being new, followed by blending in cement tanks. Before being released, Palafreno rested for an additional 12 months in the bottle. This label is of undisputed quality, produced according to organic and biodynamic farming principles.

PALAFRENO TOSCANA QUERCIABELLA: TASTING NOTES

Palafreno by Querciabella enchants with its intense ruby red color and brilliant reflections. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe red berries, followed by notes of violet and balsamic herbs. The olfactory profile is further enriched by hints of noble woods, dark spices, and subtle ethereal nuances. The palate is enveloping, deep, and layered, supported by silky tannins and elegant minerality that lingers through the long finish. This wine pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and rich land-based dishes, particularly those featuring red meats.
