Giuseppe Quintarelli is a legendary estate located in the hills north of Verona in the heart of the Valpolicella appellation. It is regarded by many as the greatest of all Amarone producers and is known for its traditional deep, complex wines packaged with distinctive handwritten labels. The great man Quintarelli himself, known as il Maestro del Veneto, died in 2012 aged 84 but the winery remains family-owned and managed.
Vinification and Ageing: After harvest, while half of the fruit—in this case, a diverse blend made up mainly of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—is crushed and fermented like a traditional red wine, the remaining grapes are set to dry for two months in a process known as appassimento. After the two lots are blended, the wine is then passed over the pressed skins from the family’s Amarone, a powerful wine made entirely from dried grapes. During this ripasso, the sugars left over in the Amarone pomace set off a small secondary fermentation, slightly boosting alcohol content and, crucially, contributing additional texture and rich, complex flavours. Only after all this has taken place is the wine racked to massive Slavonian oak botti, where it rests for no fewer than seven years before bottling.
Tasting Notes: Vibrant and tightly wound beauty with a dense, elegant core of luxurious black fruit and sweet spices, particularly black plums, prunes, and maybe a touch of black olive, the nose and palate are complex with notes of forest floor, roses, tobacco, and minerals.
Food Pairing: Serve it alongside full-flavoured, savoury dishes such as braises, wild mushrooms, and hearty pasta coated in slow-cooked ragù.
