Quintarelli is one of the great names in Italian wine and only produces its Amarone in exceptional vintages. The late Giuseppe Quintarelli, who died in 2012, developed the estate`s cult following thanks to his uncompromising attention to detail, both in the vineyards and in the cellar. His Amarones, aged for at least six years in Slavonian oak, are unsurpassed in their complexity. Rich and multi-layered with impeccable structure, the 1988 vintage still boasts impressive concentration of fruit.

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.
