Amarone Classico Quintarelli 2018 is a full-bodied red wine from the Valpolicella region of Italy. Crafted by the esteemed Giuseppe Quintarelli, this wine exemplifies the appassimento technique, where hand-harvested grapes are dried to concentrate their flavours. The blend includes Corvina, Rondinella and a selection of indigenous grapes, yielding characters of dark cherries, sweet spices and herbaceous notes. Quintarelli`s winery, established in the 1920s, remains a family-run estate, prioritising traditional methods and sustainable practices. This magnum offers an extended ageing potential, allowing for further development of its complexity over time.

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.
