‘The 2020 Turpino, which I tasted from barrel last year, turned out beautifully. Rich, layered and expansive, the 2020 is captivating from the very first taste. The blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Merlot works so well. There's some whole clusters (50%) in the Syrah, another choice that works quite well. All the elements are so harmonious. This is another fabulous wine from Querciabella. 2025-2040’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96/100

‘Tasted from cask prior to bottling, the 2020 Turpino possesses notable textural depth and resonance. A touch of whole clusters in the Syrah and Franc adds unusual elegance and vibrancy. In other words, there is more Querciabella than true Maremma character here. It's an approach that works beautifully here. Dark fruit, mocha, lavender, herbs and licorice build into the explosive, resonant, finish. I can't wait to taste this from bottle. 2025-2035’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94-96/100 ‘Infused with plum, cherry and blackberry fruit, this balanced red is smooth in texture. Touches of Mediterranean scrub, iron, earth and tobacco complete the flavor profile. Finishes fresh and long. Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot. Drink now through 2037.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100

Producer information The story of Querciabella began in 1974 when Giuseppe ‘Pepito’ Castiglioni purchased a single hectare of vineyards on a Tuscan hillside. He was an industrial entrepreneur by trade but his dreams and passions were in producing wine. In the mid-1990s Pepito’s son, Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni, took over the vineyards and took Querciabella’s reputation to new heights. He saw to it that Querciabella was one of the first wineries in Italy to convert to organic viticulture and was a pioneer in his biodynamic approach. Sebastiano’s passion for animal rights also led to the vegan certification of Querciabella. Today Querciabella’s vineyards span more than 100 hectares, located in Chianti Classico and Maremma and are planted with all the grape varieties that Pepito only dreamed of when purchasing that first hectare of vineyards.
