Querciabella's flagship Super Tuscan since 1981, and a wine widely considered the most elegant expression of the category, sometimes called "the Musigny of Super Tuscans." A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese, farmed biodynamically and raised 18 months in French oak barrels, up to 20% new. The 2018 is dark and brooding in its youth, requiring some patience to fully unwind, with dark-fleshed fruit, leather, spice, menthol, and grilled herbs emerging with coaxing, alongside black cherry, cigar wrapper, woodsmoke, and clove-like spice. Full-bodied, focused, and complex on the palate, with fine-grained tannins, bouncy acidity, and a long, impeccably balanced finish. Just 830 cases made, with only 59 imported, a genuinely serious, age-worthy Super Tuscan drinking well now through 2038.

"The 2018 Camartina is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Dark, brooding and quite closed, the 2018 is going to require cellaring and a good bit of patience, too. Dark-fleshed fruit, leather, spice,menthol and grilled herbs emerge with some coaxing. The Cabernet is quite evident in both the flavor profile and overall structure, which likely explains the wine's general feel today"
