Rosso Toscano "Camartina" 2016 IGT QuerciabellaNegli anni Settanta e Ottanta, alcuni ambiziosi viticoltori iniziarono a rifuggire le regole rigorose del Chianti Classico.

Negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, alcuni ambiziosi viticoltori iniziarono a rifuggire le regole rigorose del Chianti Classico. La loro insoddisfazione per la mediocrità del panorama enologico toscano contemporaneo ha scatenato un'ondata di creatività e sperimentazione con uve di alta qualità, cloni e tecniche di vinificazione. Querciabella nasce in questo specifico contesto e Camartina non solo ha posto le basi per la vinificazione di alta qualità del marchio aziendale, ma ha anche avviato la sua ascesa al successo. Fiore all'occhiello di Querciabella, è uno dei pochi vini storici, noti collettivamente come Super Tuscans, che hanno notevolmente elevato la posizione e il prestigio della produzione vinicola italiana sulla scena mondiale.

  • Caratteristiche: Il colore è di un elegante rosso rubino intenso. Il profumo emana aromi ricchi di bacche nere e rosse tra cui amarene, mirtilli, prugna matura e tamarindo. Note di edera, sottobosco e corteccia appena tagliata si intrecciano a sentori di cuoio, tabacco dolce e liquirizia. Il gusto ricorda sapori pronunciati di frutta nera matura arricchiti da noce moscata e spezie dolci.
  • Abbinamenti: Da abbinare a piatti di sostanza come carne rossa in umido, pasta sugo di carne, carne arrosto e grigliata, selvaggina.

Vigneti

I vigneti dove crescono le uve per la Camartina sono tutti situati nelle immediate vicinanze della cantina di Ruffoli, sulla collina di Greve in Chianti. Con i suoi terreni galestro e l'esposizione a sud, il vigneto Casaocci Sud offre l'ambiente ideale per il Cabernet Sauvignon da manuale, qui affinato da note più leggere ed elevate. Su un pendio più fresco, i terreni più densi del Poggerino, più ricchi di argilla, forniscono tipicamente la spina dorsale strutturale del Cabernet, nonché l'intensità e la profondità necessarie per un invecchiamento di successo. Il Sangiovese cresce in blocchi di vigneto selezionati che vanno dai 350 m ai 600 m slm con orientamento variabile, da sud a sud-ovest. A quote più basse, galestro e terreni argillosi conferiscono eleganza ai vini mentre più in alto le arenarie diventano prevalenti, donando al Sangiovese una più succosa vitalità. La Camartina viene prodotta solo in annate ottimali, mentre la micro vinificazione in piccoli lotti e un imbottigliamento estremamente limitato garantiscono l'eccellenza artigianale. Una gestione delicata ma precisa della fermentazione nei fermentatori di rovere francese consente  una bella integrazione dei tannini e lo sviluppo della struttura. Dopo la fermentazione malolattica, le due cépages vengono fatte maturare separatamente per circa 18 mesi in botti di rovere francese, fino al 20% nuove, prima di selezionare i lotti migliori per l'assemblaggio finale. Il vino esce non prima di 30 mesi dalla vendemmia e, grazie alla sua longevità, è sicuro di essere un contendente per le migliori cantine.

    Agricola Querciabella

    Giuseppe (Pepito) Castiglioni, imprenditore industriale e appassionato di vino da una vita, acquistò un solo ettaro di vigneto su una collina toscana e iniziò a creare una tenuta che presto avrebbe abbracciato l'ampiezza della regione. Sognava di produrre vini eleganti e ricchi, ottenuti non solo da uve autoctone Sangiovese, ma anche da quelle dei suoi amati Bordeaux e Borgogna… Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay e Pinot Bianco, solo per citarne alcuni. Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni , figlio di Pepito, investitore e imprenditore a pieno titolo, ha convertito l'azienda alla viticoltura biologica nel 1988, facendo di Querciabella una delle prime aziende vinicole in Italia ad avvalersi di questa pratica. Sotto la sua guida, Querciabella divenne noto come uno dei migliori e più innovativi produttori di vino d'Italia all'inizio del XX secolo. La passione di Sebastiano per i diritti degli animali e la salvaguardia dell'ambiente ha portato il biologico a Querciabella un passo avanti. Nel 2000 Sebastiano ha introdotto un approccio 100% vegetale alla biodinamica che vieta l'uso di prodotti animali nei nostri vigneti o nelle nostre cantine. Querciabella è stata ancora una volta un innovatore nel settore e un'ispirazione nella regione. Oggi quel solo ettaro in Toscana è solo una piccola parte degli oltre 100 ettari dei vigneti di Querciabella. E in questi vivaci vigneti - fiancheggiati nella regione del Chianti Classico da boschi di querce e dolci colline, e in Maremma dalla bellezza aspra di una costa toscana incontaminata - tutti i vitigni sognati da Pepito ora prosperano nel terreno ricco e biodinamico che ha diventare l'ingrediente più importante nelle premiate ricette di Querciabella.

    A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
    Format: Kindle
    In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Enchanting
    Format: Kindle
    "Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    An action-packed dark romantasy
    Format: Kindle
    I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

    Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
    Format: Kindle
    A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

    Not a bad start
    Format: Kindle
    3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.
