Description

Italy / Veneto / Valpolicella Classico Superiore

North of Verona, narrow roads wind through the landscape to the small, well-hidden winery in the village of Negrar. A few hectares of vines thrive here in the best locations of the Valpolicella region on limestone and basalt soils. At Quintarelli, every wine is traditionally aged and given the time it needs to meet the high standards of the winemaking family. In 60 years, founder Giuseppe Quintarelli has shaped one of the most legendary wineries in Veneto. The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is only produced in the best years. The best grapes are selected during the manual harvest in autumn and laid out on straw mats to dry until January. The wine then matures for years in wooden barrels. This results in a concentrated, complex, great Amarone – typical of Quintarelli.

In Portrait:

Bertani

Bertani zählt zu den großen Traditionsgütern Venetiens und sitzt unweit von Verona in den Hügellagen des Valpolicella Classico. Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert prägt das Haus den Stil der Region mit – besonders beim Amarone. Aus Corvina, Rondinella & Co. entstehen Valpolicella und Amarone, die Kraft und Eleganz verbinden: dunkle Kirsche, rote Beeren, getrocknete Früchte, Kräuter und fein eingebundenes Holz, stets getragen von einer überraschend frischen Säure. Der Amarone reift lange im Fass und in der Flasche, was ihm Tiefe, Komplexität und großes Lagerpotenzial verleiht. Ergänzt wird das Sortiment durch klassische Veneto-Weine wie Soave oder Ripasso. Im Weinberg setzt Bertani auf sorgfältige Ertragsregulierung und selektive Lese, im Keller auf eine Verbindung aus traditioneller Langzeitreife und moderner Präzision. Ideal für Kund:innen, die zeitlose, authentische Veneto-Ikonen mit hohem Genuss- und Reifewert suchen.

Origin in Focus

Venetien

Veneto in north-eastern Italy combines Alpine coolness and Adriatic mildness – ideal for a wide variety of styles. Famous examples include sparkling wines from the Prosecco area (Glera), fragrant Soave whites (Garganega) and Valpolicella reds from Corvina, Rondinella and other varieties. These include fruity Valpolicella, concentrated Amarone (made from partially dried grapes) and spicy, slender Ripasso. Fresh, versatile wines are also produced in the Colli Berici and around Lake Garda.
