“We have always maintained great relations with Indian friends in the industry and finally returned to India for a visit dedicated to our importer Anggel's Share.

We consider India a very important market for the development of our wines. The cultural knowledge of wine in India is growing a lot, especially about wines from abroad. This is also thanks to the considerable contribution of industry and communication professionals such as Nikhil Agrawal who is a great communicator and connoisseur of wines and spirits.

I am sure that my visit will be useful in explaining to our Indian friends the characteristics of our company and wines, especially regarding Chianti Classico.

  Marco Fizialett, Castello Di Querceto

“Castello di Querceto is a jewel in our portfolio. With a rich history spanning a century, they are visionaries aside from being passionate winemakers. As one of the founding wineries of the Chianti Classico consortium, they have led the region from strength to strength and we are so proud to represent them in India”  

Nikhil Agarwal, Partners at Anggel’s Share LLP

About Castello Di Querceto :

Castello Di Querceto is situated in Tuscany, on the north-eastern side of the Chianti Classico region.

The François family came from France to settle in Tuscany in the 18th century. Since then, they have played a vital role in the development of the Tuscan wine industry.

The ancestor Carlo Francois bought the estate in 1897 and our family is one of the only 20 estates that maintained the same family property for more than 100 years (among the 650 producers of the Chianti Classico area).

 In 1924, Castello di Querceto was one of the 33 founding members of the Chianti Classico Consortium. Since 1978, the company has been directed by Alessandro François who ensures that the characteristics and potential of each vineyard are reflected in every wine he produces.

About Marco Fizialetti, Castello Di Querceto :

Born in 1961, Marco Fizialetti graduated in Economy and Commerce in Tuscany where he met Lia, the daughter of Alessandro François. In the late 80’s he moved to the François Castello di Querceto estate and the couple wed in 1996. During this time, Marco became very passionate about the world of wine and began working as a representative of Querceto.

After gaining some experience in banking as a stockbroker, he entered into a partnership with Alessandro François on marketing and commercial ventures.

While working with Alessandro, Marco has always accentuated the value of the history and tradition of Castello di Querceto and its wines, continuously striving to improve the terroir and characteristics of the vineyards and the aging process of the wines.
