The grapes used for Quintarelli`s Azero are Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot sourced from a small plot near the winery – which also lends its name to the wine. This plot is located in Negrar (Veneto), at an elevation of 350 meters above sea level, with a western exposure and a soil rich in limestone and basalt. The wine displays an intense garnet red colour and aromas of dried fruit, spices, complemented by hints of cocoa and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a powerful profile with notes of ripe fruit and jam, followed by a long-lasting finish.

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.
