Castello di Querceto, Chianti Classico Riserva

Castello di Querceto and the lands surrounding it are places full of history and atmosphere. From 1897, the castle is property of the François family which moved to Tuscany during the XVIII century from France. Carlo François bought the estate and turned it from a country residence into an agricultural farm, starting immediately to play an important part in the wine world: in the 1911 it won its first international enological prize and in 1824, it was one of the 33 founded members if the “Consorzio del Vino Chianti Classico”. In the old cellars, there are bottles dating back to the first vintages of the 20th century.
