Querciabella Camartina Tasting – Tuesday 1st November
Established by Giuseppe Castiglioni in the 1970s, Querciabella was born from a single hectare of Tuscan hillside and a dream to craft elegant, rich wines not only from Tuscany’s indigenous Sangiovese, but also the signature grapes of Giuseppe’s beloved Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Ringed by a sheltering forest of majestic oaks (Querciabella translates as ‘beautiful oak’), the estate now stretches for over 100ha and, under the command of Giuseppe’s son Sebastiano, has long been one of the most forward-thinking producers in Italy, with winemaking following vegan biodynamic principles and all operations on the estate being plant based.
Querciabella’s wines have been described as Burgundian in spirit, and this masterclass – led by winemaker Manfred Ing – is a rare opportunity to indulge in a vertical tasting of its flagship wine Camartina, a Sangiovese-Cabernet blend lauded for its nuanced opulence and seductive nature.
We will also be treated to one of the purest expressions of Sangiovese in Querciabella’s Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, so join us in the St. James’s Room for an evening of textbook Tuscany not to be missed.

2018 Querciabella Camartina Toscana IGT
