Tasting Notes
Famiglia Losi Quercivalle Chianti Classico 2020. Sourced from hand-harvested Sangiovese and Canaiolo, this wine was fermented in steel with malolactic in cement, then aged 12–18 months in oak barrels, plus several months in bottle. It is a brilliant deep ruby red colour which features an intense, fine and charming nose with hints of spice, cherry and rose petal. On the palate, expect an expressive mouthful of red cherry and plum, tomato leaf, savory spice, followed by chalky tannins.
