Querceto Cignale 1990 - 0,75l

Querceto Cignale 1990 from Castello di Querceto is a refined Tuscan red that brings together Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot in a classic Super Tuscan style. Elegant, expressive, and beautifully evolved, it reflects both the estate’s long-standing tradition and Tuscany’s ability to craft age-worthy wines with depth and character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red core with mature garnet highlights, hinting at its bottle age. The bouquet is generous and complex, opening with ripe dark fruit before unfolding into notes of spice, tobacco, vanilla, and a subtle touch of chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with well-integrated tannins, lively acidity, and a balanced, polished structure. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering fruit, spice, and oak-derived nuances. Already mature and expressive, it can still hold up well for further short-term cellaring, though it is at a beautiful stage for drinking now.

Production
Produced in Tuscany from a carefully selected blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, Querceto Cignale 1990 showcases the estate’s focus on quality fruit and balanced winemaking. The grapes are sourced from Castello di Querceto’s vineyards, where the terroir of the Tuscan hills provides ideal conditions for ripening while preserving freshness and structure. Vinification is designed to extract concentration and complexity while maintaining finesse, followed by aging that adds depth, texture, and notes of vanilla and spice.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted or grilled red meats, game, and richly flavored dishes such as braised beef or venison. It is also an excellent match for mature cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended to allow the wine’s mature aromas and layered structure to fully open up.
