Giuseppe (Pepito) Castiglioni 是一位企業家，畢生至愛葡萄酒。他在托斯卡納的山坡上買了一公頃的葡萄園，並著手建立酒莊。 他夢想釀造出優雅、濃郁的葡萄酒，不僅使用當地的Sangiovese，還用上國際葡萄。
Pepito 的兒子 Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni 於 1988 年將酒園轉變為有機種植，成為意大利第一家有機的酒莊。如今葡萄園採用生物動力法，面積擴大到 100多公頃，遍布Chianti Classico和Maremma。他們的葡萄酒屢獲高分和獎項，對此他們說真正的秘訣在於土壤...
葡萄園周邊都種滿橡樹，而Querciabella 這個名字的意思正是美麗的橡樹。

Giuseppe (Pepito) Castiglioni – an industrial entrepreneur and lifelong wine lover – bought a single hectare of vineyard on a Tuscan hillside and set about creating an estate. He dreamed of producing elegant, rich wines, made not only from native Sangiovese grapes, but also the International grapes.
Pepito’s son, Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni, converted the estate to organic viticulture in 1988, which was the first Italian winery to employ this practice. Today, the vineyards are run by biodynamics approach and expand to more than 100 hectares, which throughout Chianti Classico and in Maremma. Their wines receive high score and award-winning, which they always say the real secret is in the soil.
The name Querciabella means beautiful oak, and the vineyards have grown along these wonderful trees.
