Description
A Family Legacy in Valpolicella
Rooted in the hills of Valpolicella Classica since 1924, Giuseppe Quintarelli is one of Italy’s most revered family-owned wineries. Under the vision of Giuseppe Quintarelli, affectionately known as “Bepi”, the estate built its reputation on patience, craftsmanship and an unwavering pursuit of excellence, creating wines that have become icons of the region.
The Art of Traditional Winemaking
Tradition lies at the heart of every bottle. Through the time-honoured appassimento method, carefully selected grapes are naturally dried to concentrate their flavours and character. Combined with extended ageing in large Slavonian oak casks, this meticulous approach gives the wines their remarkable depth, structure and distinctive elegance.
The Character of Its Wines
The estate’s distinctive blends bring together 55% Corvina and Corvinone, prized for their rich cherry character and structure, with 30% Rondinella, adding freshness and subtle herbal nuances. The remaining 15% combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese, contributing further layers of complexity and balance. From its celebrated Amarone and Recioto to the distinctive Alzero, each wine is a reflection of the estate’s individuality, expressing the depth and character of Valpolicella with remarkable finesse.
