Giuseppe Quintarelli is a legendary estate located in the hills north of Verona in the heart of the Valpolicella appellation. It is regarded by many as the greatest of all Amarone producers, and is known for its traditional deep, complex wines packaged with distinctive handwritten labels. The great man Quintarelli himself, known as il Maestro del Veneto, died in 2012 aged 84 but the winery remains family-owned and managed.

It’s a meal in a glass but somehow manages to not feel oppressively heavy or alcoholic. Could go longer but no reason to wait

Same notes as before, and I still love it. Keep going back to it. So unique. Had with Valla, mixed wild game and seafood grill.

2011. 9.5+. A bombshell; best wine I’ve had all year. Completely seamless and mouth-filling. Outstanding balance between gobs of funky dark Amarone-like fruit and firm tannins, without being plummy. So many complex flavors that evolve over an eve and a very long aftertaste. So good at this stage but has many more years left. $85 at Pluckemin.

Part of our social distancing journey. Went great with wood fired Pizza Margarita! Local pie they tastes like I’m in Napoli.

Delicate and very perfumed soft lush with good backbone of acid. Tangerine sweet sour thing going on. Very interesting.
