Valpolicella Quintarelli 2007 is a notable red wine from the Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC in Veneto, Italy, reflecting the meticulous techniques of Giuseppe Quintarelli, a producer renowned for embracing traditional winemaking. This vintage primarily employs indigenous grapes, including Corvina and Rondinella, alongside smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, among others. The wine benefits from a partial drying of the grapes (mini-appassimento) and is aged for five to six years in large Slavonian oak botti, leading to pronounced aromas of red fruit and earthy undertones, with a structured palate that showcases its ageing potential.

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.
