QuerciaGrossa

Producer: QuerciaGrossa -> Go to QuerciaGrossa

Wine Box containing 6 bottles of mixed wine:

Battifolle 2018 x 2, Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo

The freshly harvested grapes are destemmed and left to macerate on the skins in small concrete vats for a period of up to 40 days. Fermentation begins thanks to native yeasts and during this period two daily manual punchings are carried out (natural cellar temperature). Once the maceration is complete, each vat is drawn off separately, the skins are pressed and the wine is left to rest for two/three nights in steel vats, to be subsequently transferred to the second and third passage barriques where it will carry out the malolactic fermentation and finish its refinement process for 12 months.
To be underlined throughout the entire winemaking process is the continuous attention to a very low use of sulphites and respect for nature and the properties of the grapes both in the cellar and in the vineyard.

70% of the entire mass will undergo refinement in cement for 12 months, while the remaining 30% will pass through French oak tonneaux for 12 months. After 6 months in the bottle.

Acquanera 2017 x 2, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

The freshly harvested grapes are destemmed and left to macerate on the skins in small concrete vats for a period of up to 40 days. Fermentation begins thanks to native yeasts and during this period two daily manual punchings are carried out (natural cellar temperature). Once the maceration is complete, each vat is drawn off separately, the skins are pressed and the wine is left to rest for two/three nights in concrete vats to be subsequently transferred to the terracotta amphorae where it will carry out the malolactic fermentation and finish its refinement process for 12 months.
To underline throughout the entire winemaking process, the continuous attention to a very low use of sulphites and respect for nature and the properties of the grapes both in the cellar and in the vineyard

Refines for 12 months in terracotta amphorae, then 6 months in the bottle

Faluschino 2018 x 2, Vermentino, Trebbiano, Malvasia

Approximately 60% of the harvested grapes are pressed directly and placed in steel vats. When fermentation begins, thanks to the native yeasts, the Faluschino is decanted into 500 liter second/third passage tonneaux, in which it remains in contact with the mobile lees for a period of 6 months. The remaining 40% of the mass of the harvested grapes is left to macerate on the skins for 12 days; it is subsequently pressed and transferred to the tonneaux. To be underlined throughout the entire winemaking process is the continuous attention to a very low use of sulphites and respect for nature and the properties of the grapes both in the cellar and in the vineyard. It refines for six months in 500 liter oak tonneaux and then 4 in the bottle

Roccatederighi (Gr)

Quercia Grossa was born in 2012 thanks to Pierpaolo Bertolini, the young and experienced owner of the company, with past experience with large Tuscan companies such as Antinori.

Quercia Grossa is not just a winery but is a project for the recovery of ancient vineyards in the area, treated like a garden in which the rhythms are dictated by nature.
