The 2016 Camartina is superb. As always, Camartina is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese, all from Greve's Ruffoli district, where Querciabella is located. At this stage in its development, the Camartina is driven by Sangiovese in its red-toned fruit, aromatics and acid profile. The 2016 is vibrant, saline and full of energy. I am so intrigued to see how it develops in bottle. Antonio Galloni1st September 2020

70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese from the hillside of Ruffoli, near the estate. The vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 2000. Aged for 18 months in barriques of French oak (30% new).
Lustrous youthful ruby. Youthful on the nose too. Concentrated red fruit that is still a little embryonic and not fully unfurled. Just hints of dark, exotic spice notes in the background. Minerally and tight but already shows amazing depth. Gorgeous, taut, tightly knit, tangy fruit and finely ground tannins on the palate. Very long and youthful and superbly structured. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese blend, of which the sum is greater than the parts. The wine expresses originality rather than grape varieties. (WS)Walter Speller24th November 2020
