Description: Quintarelli is considered the father of Amarone, with a very ancient history that dates back to the early 1900s in Negrar, the epicenter of Valpolicella, where among 12 hectares of vineyards and with the utmost respect for tradition, about 50,000 bottles are produced a year for a production niche and therefore of great quality. In praise of the native grapes that are grown here in total respect for nature and following a very tight selection, Valpolicella Quintarelli is a beacon of Made in Italy all over the world as well as being the younger brother of Amarone, also destined for a excellent performance in aging during which it maximizes its qualities. Ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet has hints of spices, notes of black cherries and goudron. In the mouth it is balanced with bitter and dry flavors. This wine is produced using the ripasso technique, which gives greater complexity, color and structure.
