‘The 2020 Camartina is a super-classic edition of this wine. Cabernet Sauvignon drives the blend, but there is also a ton of site character. Readers will have to be patient, as this is very much a wine for the cellar. Strong mineral inflections, black pepper, lavender, mint and licorice add layers of aromatic intrigue. 2028-2041’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94+/100
‘Mellow and harmonious, offering plum, black currant, blackberry, iron, leather and menthol flavors. Juicy acidity and dusty tannins lift the flavors and guide them to the long conclusion. Fresh and complex on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2040. 1,000 cases made, 120 cases imported.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100

| Producer information | The story of Querciabella began in 1974 when Giuseppe ‘Pepito’ Castiglioni purchased a single hectare of vineyards on a Tuscan hillside. He was an industrial entrepreneur by trade but his dreams and passions were in producing wine. In the mid-1990s Pepito’s son, Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni, took over the vineyards and took Querciabella’s reputation to new heights. He saw to it that Querciabella was one of the first wineries in Italy to convert to organic viticulture and was a pioneer in his biodynamic approach. Sebastiano’s passion for animal rights also led to the vegan certification of Querciabella. Today Querciabella’s vineyards span more than 100 hectares, located in Chianti Classico and Maremma and are planted with all the grape varieties that Pepito only dreamed of when purchasing that first hectare of vineyards. |
