Querciabella Camartina 2019

Querciabella “Camartina” 2019

A flagship Super Tuscan and one of Chianti Classico’s most celebrated wines, Camartina is Querciabella’s iconic Cabernet Sauvignon–based blend, marrying Bordeaux structure with Tuscan soul. The outstanding 2019 vintage delivers remarkable balance, depth, and precision, highlighting both the estate’s biodynamic farming and meticulous winemaking.

The nose is intense and layered, offering aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark cherry framed by notes of graphite, cedar, sweet tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs. Subtle hints of violet, cocoa, and spice add complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with dense yet finely polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Concentrated dark fruit flavors are seamlessly integrated with oak, leading to a long, authoritative finish marked by mineral and savory spice.

While powerful and impressive in youth, the 2019 Camartina possesses exceptional harmony and aging potential, promising decades of graceful evolution.
