Amarone Classico Quintarelli 2004

Giuseppe Quintarelli is generally regarded as the `father of Amarone`. Until the time of his death in 2012, through his painstaking attention to detail through every stage of the winemaking process, he defined a style of Amarone which has made his wines among the most sought-after in the world, and which elevated him to the pantheon of great winemakers. His 2004 vintage, while having many years of evolution in bottle ahead of it, is ready to drink now. Intensely aromatic with a richly textured core of chocolately sweet cherry fruit, complemented by notes of wet earth, sweet tobacco and tar.
