The legendary estate of Giuseppe Quintarelli is one of the most revered in the world, renowned for producing some of the finest wines from Valpolicella. Only made in vintages of exceptional quality, every detail in the vineyard is meticulously attended to, and the work in the winery is uncompromising. This mature Amarone is a stunning example of complexity, offering explosive aromas of figs, leather, truffle, baking spices, and floral hints. Exquisitely rich, yet never overwhelming.

The Godfather of Veneto

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.
