Rosso del Bepi Quintarelli 2005 is a full-bodied appassimento red wine from the hand of legendary Italian winemaker Giuseppe Quintarelli. Crafted similarly to the esteemed QUintarelli Amarone, this wine is made from a blend of carefully selected grapes, which are dried on straw mats for several months before the wine undergoes extensive ageing in wooden barrels. The 2005 vintage is characterised by aromas of dark fruit, earthy undertones and a hint of spice. On the palate, it offers a structured experience marked by a defined acidity and finely integrated tannins. Limited availability ensures its rarity among collectors.

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.
