Giuseppe Quintarelli took over his family's estate in the 1950s, and properly cemented a style which would become the very identity of great Veneto wines, a legacy which endures to this day.

Quintarelli Giuseppe

"Bepi", as his friends knew him, was not one to settle for any half measure. With so many Valpolicella in the region being crafted in a hot, quick manner, Bepi was known to severely limit his vines' yields to raise quality, and took every step to ensure the highest quality. For his Valpolicella, the wines were made in a "ripasso" style - being passed over Amarone lees to encourage a second fermentation, allowing greater depth and structure that other wines of the region lacked. The wines were then aged upwards of seven years in Slavonian oak vats, slowing the development and crafting a complete wine. 

Quintarelli Amarones are a species unto themselves. After the appassimento (drying) process, the wines evolves so slowly that it is often more than a decade before a vintage is released; the Amarone are only made - as with Salon or d'Yquem - in the very finest vintages. 

To open a bottle of Quintarelli is to begin a journey. Each flask will enter and pass through countless lives, a full spectrum of emotions and flavors so radiant that few wines on this planet can mimc or approximate. As an added bonus, the longevity without the cork removed is widely unparalleled; one can easily store a Valpolicella or Amarone two to five decades.

Made primarily with a blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, the Quintarelli Giuseppe 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva has been in bottle since November 2023 (and was released at the end of 2024). This is a wine of impact and intensity, with the textural heft and richness to match. This warm and sunny vintage delivers aromas of dried plum, sweet cigar, spice and brandied cherry. In terms of structure, the wine remains quite firm and compact, and this bodes especially well for its future bottle evolution. The alcohol content is recorded at 16.5%, and the 2015 vintage carries three to four grams per liter of residual sugar that adds a lasting sense of volume and depth to the finish.
