Ca del Merlo Rosso Quintarelli 2018 is a blended red wine from the historic Quintarelli winery in Veneto. This wine features a composition of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, with elements of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Following a lengthy maturation period in large Slavonian oak barrels, this wine demonstrates a structured profile with dark cherry and ripe plum notes. The palate is firm with well-integrated tannins, revealing layers of dried herbs, spice and subtle earthy nuances.

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.
