    There is one wine at Quintarelli that is regarded as the benchmark – not only for the estate itself, but for the entire region. Anyone who wants to understand what these Veronese hills and this legendary producer are truly capable of must taste this Valpolicella. Not an Amarone, not a Recioto, but the supposedly 'simplest' wine in the range – yet it is precisely this that most clearly demonstrates what the Quintarelli family makes of centuries-old tradition and an unwavering spirit of innovation. The technique is the real revolution: half of the Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes are pressed immediately after harvest, whilst the other half are air-dried for two months – a form of partial appassimento applied to a wine that is officially known simply as Valpolicella. The blended must is then aged for seven years in large Slavonian oak barrels, far exceeding the appellation's average, where most Valpolicella wines are bottled after just a few months.

    The estate is situated in Cerè di Negrar, east of Lake Garda, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region. What is produced here is not a light, easy-drinking wine, but a wine of uncompromising quality with incredible complexity and depth. The bouquet offers notes of toasted hazelnut, cocoa, leather and white pepper, interwoven with ripe black cherry. On the palate, it is generously aromatic and multi-layered, with silky, polished tannins and a long, rich and almost endless finish. SUPERIORE.DE
