The Castello di Querceto 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Picchio is a rich and darkly concentrated wine that shows beautiful width and depth of aromas. There's a lot going on in the glass, thanks to the bouquet that is colored by dark cherry, dark currant, dried blackberry, spice, cured tobacco and crushed stone. The warm vintage brings extra ripeness and fruit weight that shows nicely against the cool, medium-high elevations of the Castello di Querceto vineyards in beautiful Greve in Chianti.
