The Amarone della Valpolicella Quintarelli 1971 is a distinguished offering from a revered producer. Founded by Giuseppe Quintarelli, the estate is celebrated for its stringent selection process and traditional methods. This vintage, sourced from the Negrar vineyards, showcases a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and other permitted grapes. With decades of maturation, the wine presents a developed colour and nuanced aromas of dried cherry, fig and herbal notes. The palate is structured, revealing depth and a long, savoury 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.
