 Tasted by chelidon on 7/30/2023 & rated 87 points: Perfect for sangria. (498 views)
 Tasted by brujazz on 4/4/2023 & rated 89 points: Easy drinking, approachable and tasty Chianti. Quercetos entry level Chianti and as good as an everyday wine gets. (695 views)
 Tasted by Vinnut on 2/10/2023 & rated 89 points: Medium ruby red in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & mulberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, herbs & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, plums & strawberries with herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Quite accessible at present with decanting & extended airing but has the structure & fruit to continue with further development with a few additional years. Great QPR! (840 views)
 Tasted by Jobu on 12/30/2022 & rated 91 points: Very good Classico for the price. Dark fruit, blackberry and cherry. Earth, some minerals and a bit of acid that balance it. Needs a tiny bit of air. Will last 5/6 years or so, but no need to age. (504 views)
 Tasted by Paschap on 11/15/2022 & rated 88 points: Ярко-рубиновый цвет, довольно светлое и прозрачное. В аромате насыщенные красные ягоды, замша, сухая трава, гвоздика, хворост, йод, гуашь. Во вкусе среднее тело, кислотное с горчинкой, средние+ танины. 88/100 (442 views)
 Tasted by cono_sur on 5/30/2022 & rated 89 points: Mainly Sangiovese (~90%), the fruity, medium-high intensity nose has red cherry, currant, clove, and purple fruit aromas. It's medium-full bodied with pleasing aroma replays on the flavour profile, while supported by fresh acidity and smooth, rounded tannins. Very good length on the juicy finish. (115 views)

Castello di Querceto / Querceto

Producer website

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
