Merchant's description

The legendary estate of Giuseppe Quintarelli is one of the most revered in the world, renowned for producing some of the finest wines from Valpolicella. Only made in vintages of exceptional quality, every detail in the vineyard is meticulously attended to, and the work in the winery is uncompromising. This mature Amarone is a stunning example of complexity, offering explosive aromas of figs, leather, truffle, baking spices, and floral hints. Exquisitely rich, yet never overwhelming.
