Tasting Notes
Famiglia Losi Querciavalle Chianti Classico 2016. This red comes from the same single estate vineyard, elevated by a longer 24–30 month aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. It is a bright ruby red in a glass, with a nose of toasted vanilla and black cherry, followed on the palate by juicy, sour cherries, summer berries and a long finish with velvety soft tannins while maintaining vibrant acidity.
