Querciabella Camartina Toscana Rosso 1999

Querciabella, historic Tuscan company purchased in 1974 by Giuseppe Castiglioni, who at the time owned only one hectare but with the dream of producing not only Sangiovese but also the great international vines of Burgundy and Bordeaux. The company was then passed on to his son who in the first half of the 80s converted the production into organic viticulture. In 2000 Querciabella was declared as a biodynamic company and soon received great appreciation for its elegant and exciting wines.

Tasting Notes

Undoubtedly the star of the show, this wine bears all the hallmarks of a beautiful, intense Tuscan Cabernet. Showy and rounded with a wild, spicy and concentrated texture. A strong ruby ​​red color, the nose has hints of blackberry jam and hints of clay. Fresh, structured, and persistent on the finish. 

Food Pairing

While serious and structured, there is a finesse to Camartina that brings out an enormous array of nuanced flavors, spices and textures in dishes. There’s a variety of dishes you can play around with. We like Camartina with a side of Moroccan Roasted Vegetable Tagine with Chickpeas and Mint Pistachio Pesto or some sophisticated taste like Oyster and Trumpet Mushroom Coq au Vin with Roasted and Root Vegetables over Thyme-Scented Polenta.

Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot
