Querciabella Camartina

94/100 - An organic blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese, the 2019 Camartina (in a heavy glass bottle) shows dark fruit nuances with savory tobacco and spice. This wine is mostly driven by the heft and concentration of the French grape, but it also shows some of the bright cherry and freshness of the Italian grape. Some 10,000 bottles were released. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate 95/100 - The 2019 Camartina is a dense, powerful wine. After tasting a large flight of Sangioveses, the Camartina really stands out because of its strong Cabernet imprint and more obviously present sweet oak. Dark red fruit, mocha, new leather blood orange and sweet spice all take shape in the glass. Camartina is undoubtedly an excellent wine, but there is also no doubt it has been surpassed as the flagship here. Cabernet Sauvignon components were aged in standard 225-liter barrels, while the Sangiovese was aged in 500-liter tonneaux. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 98/100 - Perfumed and classy with fresh thyme and currants with some lead pencil. Medium-bodied with very crunchy fruit and a bright and energetic finish. Lively acidity frames the wine with fine tannins. Shows brightness and vivacity. Cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese. Tight now but will come out beautifully with bottle age. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Try after 2028. - James Suckling
