I Quadri is the flagship single-vineyard Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from Bindella's Tenuta Vallocaia estate, made exclusively from Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) grown on the estate's best parcels. It has repeatedly earned high scores from Wine Spectator, James Suckling, Falstaff, and Gambero Rosso. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak, resulting in a sophisticated profile of dark cherry, violet, and subtle earthy undertones with firm, refined tannins and a persistent finish.

Sommelier's Note

I Quadri is Bindella's most precise expression of Sangiovese — a single-vineyard Vino Nobile that rewards patience and shows exactly what Montepulciano's terroir can achieve.

Terroir & Winemaking
