Querciavalle 1998 White (Vin Santo del Chianti Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $47
This precious vin santo opens with lovely aromas of caramel, butterscotch, vanilla bean and toasted honey-coated almond. There’s a resiny feel in the mouth that is typical of this carefully aged dessert wine, and the close is sweet and tart at the same time.

Querciavalle 2001 Riserva Millennium Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $33
Beautifully aged up to four years in oak casks and redolent of dried red currant berry, prune and exotic spice, this Riserva has a compelling menthol and licorice element that makes it all the more interesting and complex. It boasts good structure, silky tannins and loads of dried fruit flavors.

Querciavalle 1997 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $18
There’s sweet dark cherry and plum fruit here, but to get to it you need to give the sulfur on the nose time to blow off. When it does, the wait is worth it. A full, lush mouthfeel caresses your palate, and the finish is dry and even. Decant if drinking now, or wait a year or two.

Querciavalle 2006 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
Here’s a classic and fresh interpretation of Chianti Classico that is light and crisp without being too thin or sharp. In fact, ripe fruit tones of blueberry and cassis do a nice job of smoothing out the overall effect.

Querciavalle 2007 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
This is a lovely Chianti Classico that shows balanced aromas of cherry and raspberry that match up very nicely with the natural acidity you feel in the mouth. This is a great wine to pair with chicken in creamy mushroom sauce or buttered baked potato.

Querciavalle 2003 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $30
Aged in large oak casks, this is a lively wine with obvious but not overwhelming wood flavors on the heels of mature fruit, black cherry, chopped herbs and a subtle medicinal note that adds dimension. The wine is fresh and tonic in the mouth with juicy fruit flavors, nice freshness and good length.

- Online Exclusive
- $36
A Chianti Classico from a hot and somewhat uneven vintage, Losi delivers this tame but slightly muddled expression of Sangiovese. The wine is characterized by firm tannins and sour cherry flavors. Drink now.
