Quintarelli
About Quintarelli
Born in 1927, Giuseppe Quintarelli took over the family estate in 1950 and gradually expanded until its present state, with 12 hectares of vines stretching along the eastern side of the Negrar valley. Quintarelli prides himself on being an artisanal producer that juxtaposes the most traditional production techniques with a modern twist. Amarones are aged for 7 years in Slavonian bottis and labels are drawn and glued by hand. In 1985, Quintarelli made the bold move of introducing non-native grape varieties such as Nebbiolo, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sadly, Quintarelli passed away in early 2012, leaving his daughter Fiorenza and her husband Giampaolo to manage the estate.
First produced in 1983, the Alzero is made like an Amarone but using a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. After harvest, the best bunches are left to air dry for a few months to concentrate the juices before being pressed and fermented, resulting in a massive wine that is rich and concentrated.

Vinous (94)It’s rare that you take in the aromas of an Amarone and the first thing that comes to mind is how wonderfully fresh and perfumed it is, but that’s exactly what you’ll experience from the 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from Quintarelli. Sour cherries are complicated by notes of rose, sweet spice and hints of cedar and mint. It’s deeply textural yet precise, with a polished and pure display of purple-tinged red fruit contrasted by zesty acids and a slight herbal twang. Remarkably feminine and undeniably elegant, with a slow-mounting structure that sneaks up on you through the finale. This gentle giant tapers off long and floral, only hinting at the depths that further cellaring will bring. |

Vinous (89)The 2010 Rosso del Bepi has a savory, exotic and almost animalistic personality that keeps you coming back to the glass, as a dusting of confectioner’s sugar gives way to wild strawberry, spiced citrus, sour apple and hints of flowery undergrowth. Its textures are soft, offset by salty minerals, a hint of bitter coffee and a tart display of red and black fruits. This tapers off a bit short and struggles to find balance, with a slight green streak running through its lingering note of cherry pits and savory spice. Because of heavy rains, Quintarelli decided to declassify their Amarone and produce this rendition of Rosso del Bepi instead. |
