A self taught winemaker, Giuseppe Quintarelli, took over the Valpolicella estate from his father Silvio in the 1950's and since that time has worked to increase the quality of the wines. His dedication and hard work paid off as Quintarelli wines are among Italy's most acclaimed and sought after wines. The 2005 Valpolicella is opulent and bold with amazing flavors of lush fruit which exhibit freshness and vibrancy to the wine. A Slow maturation process provides the level of complexity and refinement which is signature to an outstanding Quintarelli.

#1000th Review# One of my all time favorite, this can easily crush many Amarone. Very young, no signs of tertiary notes at all. Sweet and warm spices, raisin, sweet cherries, mocha, dark chocolate and bright acidity. Best on day 2, very smooth texture. 15% abv and it’s well balanced. Wish I have more in the cellar!

At Maple & Ash in Chicago, a spot I was really impressed with. This was an elegant wow wine. Crushed rocks enveloped by sweet, dark red fruit. Ample tannic presence but no hard edges and absolutely no raisin-y qualities.

Wow! This wine is surreal. So deep and flavorful and smooth without being super fruity or jammy. Dark fruit flavors with a cherry top. Lush. Going to blow our roast chicken away.

Serious power & dark fruit. Grippy tannins add texture & complexity. Lovely with Sunday Gravy.
