The late Maestro del Veneto, Giuseppe Quintarelli, built a legendary estate over a remarkable sixty-year career, with a lasting legacy now overseen by his daughter Fiorenza, son-in-law Giampaolo, and grandsons Francesco and Lorenzo. Quintarelli’s name symbolizes tradition, passion, and meticulous craftsmanship, creating wines that are much more than just beverages—they are artisanal masterpieces. Giuseppe, known as “Bepi,” was a perfectionist, ensuring every detail from handwritten labels to the finest corks. The Quintarelli wines are known for their patience, aged slowly in large casks in the quiet Valpolicella cellars until ready for release. The estate produces a range of exceptional wines, including the seductive Bianco Secco, the groundbreaking Valpolicella, the benchmark Amarone, and the rare Bandito, each a testament to time, tradition, and passion. A bottle of Quintarelli never fails to impress, offering wines that stand in a class of their own.

TASTING NOTES
The wine is rich in varietal character, bursting with a dark mix of black fruits, savoury herbs, pencil lead, and crushed stone. Velvety smooth, it is balanced by juicy acidity, with a core of mineral-laced red and blue fruits, enhanced by hints of confectionary spice. The wine leaves a lasting impression on the palate with youthful tension, while subtle notes of blood orange and violet florals add complexity. Dusty tannins provide structure, and the vibrant energy of this vintage perfectly contrasts its internal intensity.
