Half of the fruit is dried for two months, before six years in barrel. This is a sumptuous wine, with the gritty extract conferred by the dried fruit component, albeit, with greater red fruited levity, floral lilt, freshness and drinkability than the Amarone. A tight corset of tannins massages pithy red cherry, lilac, anise and a whiff of balsamic into a meld of graceful poise, effusive energy and joy. The crunchy length, contagious. Drink or hold.
Producer
Azienda Agricola Giuseppe Quintarelli
Arguably the best producer of Amarone della Valpolicella, the Giuseppe Quintarelli estate dates back to 1924. The iconic and late Giuseppe Quintarelli, managed the estate from the 1950s up until 2012, he has had a huge influence on Venetian wines. He established a new standard not only for his exceptional Amarone, but for other Veneto reds as well, Recioto and Valpolicella Superiore. Today, a new generation of Quintarellis take care of the property, they follow in Giuseppe’s meticulous grape selection and traditional vinification methods. Stretching over four appellations, Amarone della Valpolicella, Recioto della Valpolicella, Valpolicella and Veneto IGT, the winery crafts exceptional wines. Quintarelli’s limited-production, artisanal wines with hand-glued labels have received wide appraise, they are unlike any other in the world.
