The extraction and the supple, exotic nature of the wines from Quintarelli, the godfather of Amarone, are hard to believe, and perhaps even more so to describe. It must be experienced!

  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    A total seductress, the 2017 vintage is a dark beauty. It opens with a bouquet of dried flowers and masses of cherry sauce, offset by spiced orange and nuances of violet pastille. It sweeps across the palate, a model of purity, with crisp wild berry fruits energized by tantalizing acidity and shavings of dark chocolate. Crunchy mineral tones emerge toward the close. It lingers impossibly long yet remains completely fresh. Bravo. (Eric Guido - Vinous, 12/2023)

    wine description:

    Amarone could hardly be more traditional. The extraordinary concentration and smooth, multifaceted character of the wines of Giuseppe Quintarelli, one of Amarone’s most legendary producers, are difficult to put into words. These wines must be experienced – they open up a new dimension of enjoyment.
