The Amarone Classico Quintarelli 1997 is a sought-after red wine from the Veneto region of Italy. It is crafted in the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are air-dried for months to concentrate flavour and sugar. This long-aged offering from the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli presents a complex, seductive profile of dried cherries, plum jam and fig, layered with secondary notes of dark chocolate, leather, tobacco and baking spices. The 1997 vintage provides a dense, powerful concentration that is balanced by refreshing acidity and very silky, integrated tannins, achieving a unique elegance and refinement that allows it to age for decades. The magnum format ensures even greater potential for extended cellar life and slow evolution.
