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.

Giuseppe Quintarelli

North of Verona, narrow roads wind through the countryside to the small, well-hidden estate in the village of Negrar. A few hectares of vines thrive here in the best sites of the Valpolicella area, on limestone and basalt soils.

The estate is run by the Quintarelli family and is devoted to tradition and craftsmanship passed down through generations. Giuseppe Quintarelli, who learned the art of winemaking from his father, was a visionary and pioneer in the region and is considered one of the great masters of Italian viticulture.

At Quintarelli, every wine is vinified traditionally and given the time it needs to meet the family’s high standards.

Over the past 60 years, founder Giuseppe Quintarelli shaped one of the most legendary estates in the Veneto.

Origin in Focus

Veneto

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.
