Reviews 93 points Wine Advocate "...offers a spicy opener with tarry smoke and cured tobacco. It also shows some tart and brambly fruit, and this ties into what we can expect of the vintage. In truth, the ripeness is present and balanced. (ML)"

About Giuseppe Quintarelli
The passing of Guiseppe Quintarelli shook the wine world over a decade ago. Antonio Galloni of Vinous magazine wrote that Guiseppe “left a huge void in the wine world that isn't likely to ever be filled,” and that his “life-changing wines [...] had no equal”.
That said, Guiseppe Quintarelli, or “The Father of Amarone,” is more than one man, and the name stands for many things. From multiple passes in the vineyard to pick at perfect ripeness, to drying the grapes on straw mats, to handwritten labels, to the wine in the bottle, Quintarelli is the benchmark for soulful Amarone. This Domaine represents wines of the highest quality, tradition, patience, perfectionism, and, most importantly, family.
The legacy of the family estate in the heart of Valpolicella is under the watchful eyes of Guiseppe’s daughter Fiorenza, his son-in-law Giampaolo, and his grandsons Francesco and Lorenzo. They continue to carry on the traditions of the great Guisseppe with wines that are intensely aromatic, deeply complex, and extraordinarily refined.
