Querciabella

Querciabellas Riserva ist ein großartiger Blend aus den drei besten Chianti-Lagen in Greve, Radda und Gaiole. Pure Eleganz auf allen Ebenen: Sattes Rubingranat, subtile Aromen von Kirsche, Anis und Tabak, denen sich Noten von Jasmin und Veilchen anschließen. Am Gaumen angenehm mittelgewichtig, reife schwarze Kirschen und Kräuter, sehr typisch für dieses Terroir. Ausgewogene Frucht, die Struktur wird von offensichtlichen, hervorragend integrierten Tanninen und einer bemerkenswert perfekten Säure dominiert. Intensiv und ausdauernd mit genügend Extrakt für sicheres Lagerpotenzial. Chapeau! SUPERIORE.DE

"Funkelndes, intensives Rubin. Ansprechende und klare Nase, zeigt Noten nach frischen dunklen Kirschen, viel Granatapfel. Samtig und feinmaschig am Gaumen, öffnet sich mit hervorragend eingebundenem Tannin, feine Frucht, saftig und lange." Falstaff

"Very floral and fresh with blackberry and lemon rind undertones on the nose. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Refined and stylish." James Suckling

"The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva is a very beautiful, understated wine built on grace and finesse. Sweet floral and tobacco notes give the 2013 its aromatic lift. Precise and sculpted on the palate, with lovely juiciness to match, the 2013 is super-expressive today. This is another bright, vibrant wine with tons of Sangiovese character. The 2013 needs time for the tannins to soften, but it is very nicely done." Antonio Galloni

"The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Querciabella reveals a deep and layered presentation of dark fruit. It offers a quick succession of dried blackberry, cassis and rose hip. Spice, leather and moist chewing tobacco give the wine a larger sense of dimension and weight at the back. This pretty Chianti Classico Riserva closes with bright acidity and elegant endnotes of dried mint and balsam herb." Robert Parker

Turpino ist eine hervorragende neue Ergänzung der Querciabella-Range. Die elegante Mischung aus Cabernet Franc, Syrah und Merlot überrascht mit ihrem Duft voller Reinheit und dem intensiv aromatischen Fruchtgeschmack. Die reinste Köstlichkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit violettem Rand. Klare und einladende Nase, viel reife Beerenfrucht, nach Brombeere, eingelegten Kirschen, im Hintergrund feine würzige Noten. Feinmaschiges, geschmeidiges Tannin, öffnet sich sanft aber zielstrebig, viel süßer Schmelz, wirkt sehr ausgewogen, langer Nachhall." Falstaff

"The 2011 Turpino is a blend of fruit from Querciabella's Chianti Classico and Maremma estates. Dark red and black-toned fruits meld into spices, sweet herbs, licorice and menthol as this juicy, expressive wine opens up in the glass. Ideally, the 2011 is best enjoyed over the next few years, while the fruit retains its resonance. The 2011 is all about depth and balance." Antonio Galloni

"Enticing aromas and flavors of cherry, leather, licorice and mineral are the hallmarks of this polished, intense red. Beautifully balanced, but requires a little more time for the dense tannins to soften. Shows terrific length and a complex aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"A red that shows dried berries and hints of cedar on the nose and palate. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling

Camartina 2010 praesentiert sich funkelnd Rubin, mit opulent duftendem Bouquet nach Gewuerznelken, viel Brombeerfrucht, etwas Schokolade. Am Gaumen sehr viel saftige Frucht, würzige Noten, unterlegt von griffigem Tannin, sehr klar und lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2010 Camartina is one of the most beautiful versions of this wine I have tasted in some time. Layered and vibrant on the palate, the 2010 impresses for its finesse and nuance. Freshly cut flowers, mint, dark red berries and graphite all meld together in a wine of exceptional refinement. Today, the aromas and flavors are naturally not fully expressive, but another few years should work wonders. The cool, late-ripening season yielded a Camartina of understated class and pedigree. This is a fabulous showing." Antonio Galloni

"A powerful red wine with an abundance of berry, dried fruits and hints of vanilla on the nose and palate. Full body, with chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Needs at least two or three years of bottle age to come together. Made from biodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling

"A vivid, fresh style, whose berry and cherry flavors are focused and augmented by tobacco, underbrush and iron notes. Tight and intense, presenting a long, mineral-inflected finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese." Wine Spectator

"The 2010 Camartina offers many beautiful surprises. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese is a structured and powerful wine, but it offers elegance and balance as well. This classic vintage has done its part to shape a wine that offers bright fruit intensity, delineated aromas of blueberry and spice, and a richly velvety sensation in the mouth. You can hold this wine for the next ten years." Robert Parker

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Eröffnet mit feiner Gewürznote, nach Zimt und Gewürznelken, im Hintergrund etwas Kirsche. Saftig und salzig in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit kernigem, leicht sandigem Tannin, im Finale fester Druck." Falstaff

"The 2011 Camartina is rich, layered and exquisite in the glass. Fine, silky tannins provide the backdrop as this super-refined, polished Tuscan red shows off its personality. These hillside vineyards above Greve often yield wines of total finesse. That is certainly the case here. The 2011 Camartina isn't a blockbuster, instead it is a wine that impresses for its balance and overall harmony." Antonio Galloni

"A dense, rich red with dried-berry, orange-peel and chocolate character. Full body, soft, silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish." James Suckling

Eleganz schlägt Kraft: 100% Merlot aus der Zentraltoskana, der schon heute großen Trinkgenuss bereitet, aber dessen geschmackliche Komplexität im Verlaufe der Reifung noch gewaltig zulegen wird. Strahlende Farbe, vielfältiges Bouquet und ein straffer Körper mit ausgewogenen Proportionen sowie der herzhafte Geschmack mit dem langen, eleganten Nachhall sind seine unverkennbaren Merkmale und versetzen ihn in die Lage, es mit den ganz großen Merlots der Toskana aufzunehmen. SUPERIORE.DE

"A balanced and easy wine with dried berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Full body, fresh acidity and a clean finish. Made from organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The 2012 Palafreno, 100% Merlot from the Ruffoli sub-zone of Greve, is superb. High-altitude, hillside vineyards confer grace and nuance to a Merlot built on exquisite finesse. Sweet plum, mocha, rose petal and white pepper add gorgeous aromatic lift on the silky, sensual finish. Readers should expect an understated Merlot that emphasizes elegance over power." Antonio Galloni

Batar 2013 verströmt elegante Aromen von Jasmin, Pfirsich und süßen tropischen Früchten und eine lebendige Mineralität. Batar sichert sich mit großer Finesse und opulenter Vielfältigkeit seine zahlreichen Bewunderer und gehört zweifelsfrei zu den besten Weißweinen Italiens! SUPERIORE.DE

"A wine with yogurt and cooked apple aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, layered and rich. Almost chewy. A unique and serious white. Frombiodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The 2013 Batàr is quite beautiful. Lemon oil, white flowers,almonds and a hint of orange peel are laced together in an effortless,gracious white endowed with real personality. This is the first vintagethat includes a clone of Pinot Blanc sourced from Henri Gouges in NuitsSt. Georges and that also seems to reflect a more polished, refinedstyle. A revisited approach to pruning that allows yields to benaturally a bit higher than in the past and less new oak during agingseem to be paying off." Antonio Galloni

Ein Wein der Extraklasse! Im intensiven Fruchtbouquet ein feiner mineralischer und toastiger Unterton, der elegante Geschmack besitzt ein gutes Gewicht und zeigt sich komplex und körperbetont. Im Finale trumpft der Camartina 2008 mit einer beachtlichen Ausdauer auf. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit leichten Violetttönen. Sehr klare Nase, duftet nach Himbeere und Brombeere. Am Gaumen viel straffes Tannin, baut sich gut auf, wirkt etwas rau, im Finale aber satter Druck und langer Nachhall, sollte sich mit etwas Reife sehr gut entwickeln." Falstaff

"This blend opens with ripe aromas that recall blueberry and strawberry jam, followed by notes of spice, chocolate and moist tobacco. The finish is soft and velvety, and it comes with a touch of plush richness. This is complex and balanced." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2008 Camartina comes across as rather understated in this vintage. Dark fruit, spices, leather and tobacco are some of the aromas and flavors that take shape in the glass. Mineral notes appear later to frame the long, vibrant finish." Robert Parker

"A wine with a meaty, spicy, dried berry, and cedar character. Full and chewy. This is very powerful, but a little rustic too. Made from organic grapes. Give it three to four years of bottle age." James Suckling
