Quintarelli

Considered by many to be the best and certainly most traditional producer of Amarone della Valpolicella, the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli winery dates back to 1924. The ageing process lasts a wopping seven years in Slavonian oak; called 'botti'; the resulting wine is one of the most complex wines available from Italy and he is quite rightly known as 'the master of the Veneto'. The bottles are identified by hand scripted labels that provide a glimpse into the heart and soul of the world's truest 'artisanal' winemaker.

From aperitifs to digestifs, his limited production Amarones, Reciotos, and Valpolicellas are the benchmark for excellence. Giuseppe only puts his wines on the market when he deems them ready, often keeping them in the cellar for decades until the right moment arrives. Without bearing a prestigious name, the greatness of these wines stems only from the inherent quality of the terroir and natural talent of their maker.
