The Recioto style of sweet wine dates back to the Romans, who are credited with having developed the appassimento process. The sweetness derives from an arrested fermentation, a technique that stops the conversion of sugar into alcohol, thereby leaving residual sugar. For Giuseppe Quintarelli, like his father, crafting Recioto represents a labour of love, and this 1990 vintage symbolizes this pursuit. 1990 was a historic harvest in region, conferring the wine even more significance.

Quintarelli Giuseppe

The Quintarelli estate in the northern Veronese village of Negrar dates back to 1924 and was founded by Bepe’s father, Silvio. Bepe himself took over in the 1950s, orchestrating a quality revolution through his meticulous work in the vineyard and his uncompromising practices in the cellar. The result was wines of such hedonistic deliciousness that they became some of the most sought-after in Italy; those made before Bepe’s death in 2012 especially so.

At the still family-run estate, Bepe’s legacy continues through his daughter, Fiorenza, along with her husband, Giampaolo, and their children. The core range of wines are those made in the appassimiento style (ie, with partially sun-dried grapes): the Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone, Rosso del Bepi (essentially an Amarone, but released instead of the Amarone in ‘lesser’ vintages) and Recioto. The Amarone, only released in exceptional years, is matured for fully seven years in old Slavonian oak before release. An Amarone Riserva sees 10 years.
