Querciabella Mongrana Maremma DOC

The Querciabella winery was founded in Chianti Classico in 1974 by Giuseppe Castiglioni, who previously manufactured and sold steel in Mexico and made a fortune from it. After some time, he decided to return to Italy and fulfill his long-held dream of producing high-quality wines. Year after year, Giuseppe acquired land, developed his own vineyards, built a winery and new cellars. As the estate developed, the quality of the wines improved, receiving increasingly high ratings and positive reviews from experts year after year. Thanks to Giuseppe Castiglioni, Querciabella became one of the leading estates in Tuscany. Today, the Querciabella estate is managed by Giuseppe's son, Sebastiano, who continues his father's traditions. He invests significant resources and efforts into improving wine production to enhance their quality, while clearly understanding that innovative ideas and modern equipment have always been and will always be secondary to the gifts of nature. The estate's philosophy is to create high-quality wines that reflect the richness of the terroir. Since the late 1990s, the Querciabella estate has employed only biodynamic methods of grape cultivation, which positively affect the harmony of the land and the wines produced. Sebastiano Castiglioni fully controls the wine production process: from planting the vines to selecting the material for barrels. Interestingly, Querciabella is the second estate in Chianti Classico to introduce the practice of aging wines in oak barrels.
