Ca del Merlo Rosso Quintarelli 2000 is a mature red wine from the Veneto region. This sought-after wine is crafted from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, with the inclusion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Utilising the ripasso method, it undergoes secondary fermentation on Amarone lees, enhancing its complex character. The wine matures for approximately seven years in large Slavonian oak barrels. The 2000 vintage exhibits a ruby-garnet hue, revealing aromas of dried fruits such as prune and cherry, alongside hints of leather and clove. Giovanni Quintarelli, the founder, was pivotal in establishing Amarone as a prestigious wine style.

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.
