Querciabella Camartina 2018

First produced in 1981, Querciabella’s flagship Camartina is one of a handful of history making wines, collectively known as Super Tuscans, that dramatically elevated the standing and prestige of Italian wine production on the world stage. Originally a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon (with a little Merlot), over the years, the proportions switched as Cabernet has grown more domesticated to Ruffoli’s arid sandstone slopes. Its nuanced opulence and seductive character have won Camartina the favours of wine critics around the world. In 2004, it was named Best Italian Wine and frequently appears among the Top World Wines. With its outstanding ability to evolve over time, it even wowed world-renowned critic Jancis Robinson who couldn’t conceal her amusement – “Oo, that is rather lovely!” – after tasting a 17-year-old Camartina. Camartina is only produced in optimal vintages, while small-batch micro vinification and an extremely limited bottling guarantee hand-crafted excellence. The wine is released no sooner than 30 months after harvest, and thanks to its longevity, it is sure to be a contender for the best cellars. No animal products or byproducts are used in the production of this wine, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. This supple red is highlighted by black currant, blackberry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and leather. Shows fine intensity and a lively structure that keeps this delineated and long on the earthy finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
