Querce Bettina is a family owned and run vineyard on the southwest slopes of Montalcino at an altitude of around 440m above sea level. Husband and Wife team Sandra Barenghi and Roberto Moretti bought the 29ha estate in 1990.

2015 is an outstanding vintage for Brunello and Querce Bettina. Soil, forest floor, red fruits. The palate is medium to full, there’s substantial weight/girth in the middle. It’s more modern than traditional, but it’s also a pretty delicious wine. Bravo!

Producer

Querce Bettina is a small family estate on the south-west side of Montalcino at about 440 m, bought by Sandra Barenghi and Roberto Moretti in 1990 and planted to Sangiovese in 1999. Production is tiny - roughly 6,500 bottles of Brunello and 9,000 of Rosso a year, with a Riserva only in selected years. The 2021 Brunello won a Gold Medal (95 pts) at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2026.
