Description

Quintarelli only produces its Amarone in exceptional vintages; when it does, it is the benchmark for all Amarone wines. This collector's wine is mainly made from Corvina mixed with Rondinella and traces of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese. Full of so many layers and flavours, Quintarelli's Amarone demands to be contemplated rather than simply drunk. Always rich, opulent, sensual and extraordinary.

The company is located in the foothills of Negrar approximately 350 meters above sea level. The landscape is typical of Valpolicella with its vineyards, olive groves and cherry trees, an air almost of another era, a rurality that was in danger of being lost, but thanks to people like 'El Bepi' it has been preserved. His grandson Francesco said that the wines are still made the way his grandfather made them by ageing and maturing them slowly for eight years in large wooden barrels and in bottles. Read more
