Agricola Querciabella
Camartina Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Black currant, cassis notes with a touch of tobacco. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. Earlier vintages were predominantly Sangiovese until the Cabernet got established and now its the other way round. The Cabernet certainly showing its muscle at the moment. Good length finishing with fine dry tannins. Bruce Sanderson had a drinking window up to 2024 but I think it will go well beyond that. Final bottle in a few years.

Sep 25th, 2022Initially a great cross between Left Bank Bordeaux and Tuscany which is at it proved to be - 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. Some evidence of small French Oak but very much in the background. Rose petal and spicy plum. First of 3 - next in a year or two. Not ultra long term like quality Bordeaux. Fine persistent tannins. A very good Super Tuscan.
