Ned Goodwin for James Suckling

The fruit is dried for four months before being aged in large-format wood for six to seven years. Nebbiolo-like aromas of tar and roses, with a core of anise, sweet cherry liqueur and mocha, through to coffee ground notes. The dried fruit extract beautifully pressed into a transparent veil of weightlessness and gripper-like intensity. There's power, that's for sure. But the overall impression - as with any great wine of this corpulence - is savoury. Wonderfully juicy length, laced with a swirl of tannin. Excellent Amarone. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

winery

North of Verona, narrow roads wind through the countryside to the small, well-hidden winery in the village of Negrar. A few hectares of vines thrive here in the best locations in the Valpolicella area on limestone and basalt soils. The winery is run by the Quintarelli family and is dedicated to tradition and craftsmanship that has been 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 winemaking. At Quintarelli, every wine is made traditionally and given the time it needs to meet the high standards of the winemaking family. Over the last 60 years, the founder Giuseppe Quintarelli has formed one of the most legendary wineries in the Veneto.
