L'Aura 2022

Querceto di Castellina (the oak forest of Castellina) is a family-run winery in the heart of Chianti Classico between Siena and Florence. Away from the tourist crowds of Italy's most popular holiday region, there is complete peace and quiet. The winery stands for the combination of enjoyment and sustainable winemaking practices. Since it was taken over by the Di Battista family in 1945, the winery has continued to develop: initially the focus was only on agriculture and pig farming. Due to the constant, high-quality expansion of the winery since the 1980s, olive farming, cooking courses and the hotel business have become the central focus of the business.
It was not until 1998 that the son of the gourmet family, Jacopo Di Battista, devoted himself to the 11 hectares of vineyards (out of a total of 28 hectares including forests and olive groves). With his team of winemakers, he is committed to creating authentic organic Chiantis that convey the unique mineral terroir and the strong character of the Sangiovese grape variety. The focus is on artisanal precision and sustainable viticulture. The Chianti Classico wines from Querceto di Castellina are known for their elegance, complexity and authenticity, which reflect the family's vision: to create wines that celebrate the region, craftsmanship and enjoyment.
