The Vino Nobile "Quercione" is a Riserva, it is a limited production wine from a single vinyard. This interesting wine is perfectly aligned between tradition and modernity, elegance and intensity. Usually, the production is not more than 5000 bottles.. It is still a relatively young wine, already approachable, but with still a long way to go. It is an elegant and deep wine that can give great emotions when open at least half an hour before drinking (personal note: I recommend least one and a half hours). The taste is characterized by a great harmony, round and refined tannins with an aftertaste that leaves its mark for persistence and intensity. It is a wine that is hard to forget.
