Acquavite di Vinaccia Quintarelli is a premium pomace brandy produced by the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli estate in the Veneto region of Italy. Distilled from the skins of grapes used to produce their iconic red wines, this grappa reflects the same meticulous attention to detail and traditional philosophy as the estate’s wine. The nose is expressive and complex, featuring notes of dried cherries, raisins, forest floor and a subtle hint of tobacco. On the palate, the spirit is powerful yet remarkably smooth, with a broad texture and flavours of honeyed fruit and earthy minerals.

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.
