This Valpolicella Classico Superiore presents itself, from the very first moments, as a red with great completeness of taste, and with an excellently developed olfactory spectrum. Indeed, nothing is out of place in this bottle signed Quintarelli, a production reality that, for all enthusiasts, embodies the best of what Valpolicella can offer. In fact, this is a winery founded in the early 1900s that revolutionized the way wine is made in the Veneto region, and has been an inspiration to many winemakers in the area with its products. Just like this Valpolicella Classico Superiore, a blend where native and international grape varieties come together in a unique Soul made of elegance and personality.

Valpolicella Classico Superiore is made by the Quintarelli winery by combining three red grape varieties, where, alongside Corvina and Rondinella, we find an international variety, Cabernet. The grapes, once picked during the harvest stage, are taken in wooden crates to the winemaking rooms for crushing. Fermentation is then started, thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, which lasts for a period of 7-8 days. This is followed by aging, carried out in Slavonian oak barrels of different capacities for 60 months, after which the wine is ready to be bottled.

This Valpolicella Classico Superiore wine manifests itself to the eye with an intense, concentrated color that is barely penetrable, echoing the dark ruby hue. The olfactory spectrum opens on spicy notes, which, slowly, hint at fruit and underbrush notes. On the palate it is full-bodied, balanced, with a concentrated sip in which the tannic component is particularly fine. A label with which the Quintarelli winery continues a history of success and prestige that proclaims it an undisputed point of reference for the entire Valpolicella region.

Giuseppe Quintarelli’s name has been a guiding light in Valpolicella for years, representing the quintessence of an area that is now rightly recognized as among the most prestigious in Italian winemaking.
In the Negrar valley, twelve hectares of vineyards, where the native varieties of corvina, corvinone, rondinella and molinara meet, yield about 50 thousand bottles annually. We are talking about a very ancient history, which began in the early 1900s with Silvio Quintarelli, then continued, since the middle of the century, under the sign of tradition and the highest quality rigor with the youngest of his sons, “Bepi,” today the undisputed master of Amarone. Born out of the deepest respect for nature and a very strict selection of grapes, Quintarelli’s are wines with a capital “V,” labels that encapsulate important centuries-old skills and unique awareness, which year after year are put into practice, as much between the rows as in the withering techniques and cellar practices. But it doesn’t end there: those of Quintarelli are also wines that surprise for their great vitality, a characteristic that, as if that were not enough, makes them naturally predisposed for a very long aging, during which they improve enormously, then expressing themselves for a long time even after the bottle is opened.
