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: Amarone is only produced in exceptional years, with a careful selection of grapes during harvest. After harvest, grapes sit in wooden boxes or on rush mats, careful attention is paid to the positioning of the grapes so the appassimento can occur naturally.
Noble rot starts to appear in November and develops mostly in January, the grapes are then pressed at the end of January and after 20 days of maceration, alcoholic fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts lasting 45 days.
Wine is then racked and ages in Slavonian oak barrels for seven years, with alcoholic fermentation, which continues during this ageing period creating a dry wine. This ageing allows records to obtain a wine of exceptional complexity and structure.
Tasting Notes: Multi-layered, dense and of a masterly complexity. On the nose, dried fruits, dates, nuts, earthy notes and the fine aromas of dried sultanas. On the palate, again this infinite depth, paired with an elegance and refinement that only the Quintarelli family masters.
Food Pairing: Perfect with dark Meat, grilled of any kind, cheese well-matured, pizza, pasta, casseroles. Serving Temperature: 18/20°C
