The grapes are harvested in the coolest hours of the day and the wine is left to ferment in conical wooden vats at a controlled temperature. At the end of the process, it is refined for 15 months, first in new 600-litre demi-muids and then in barriques.

The vineyards where the grapes for Camartina are grown have been cultivated organically since 1988 and have been converted to a strict biodynamic standard in 2000. The grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards and harvested in 8-kilo crates.

The bouquet is intense with vibrant herbal, spicy, and fruit-forward notes. Very well structured, full bodied, quite soft, and balanced with pronounced tannins. A wine with a great personality and long aftertaste.

Beautifully textured and balanced, this full-bodied wine represents uncompromising quality, a subtle expression of Casa Raia's organic approach to wine making. The Bevilo name is a playful reference to an old Tuscany drinking song with the words "Bevi lo! Vino fa cantare," meaning "Drink it! Wine makes you sing."

The native Mataossu (pronounced mah-tah-OHSS-soo) dominated the vineyards of Varigotti in the 19th century, but its delicate vegetative balance provoked most winegrowers to rip out the vines in favor of less finicky grapes.

This name indicates simply that the grapes for this Brunello come from their own vineyards, all situated in the same macro-zone on the South-East slope of Montalcino. In 2011, the grapes for the Brunello “Vigneti del Versante” come from two vineyards with similar characteristics – Cancello Rosso and Pian Bassolino.
