Valpolicella Superiore 1997 from Giuseppe Quintarelli is a red wine from the Valpolicella region of Italy, presented in a 1.5-litre magnum. The 1997 growing season was exceptional, yielding fruit with significant concentration and structural longevity. This bottling offers a profound profile of plum conserve, sandalwood, dried herbs and dark chocolate. The magnum format has ensured an exceptionally slow evolution, preserving a vibrant acidic spine and primary fruit energy alongside emerging tertiary nuances. Following years of maturation in large Slavonian oak barrels, the palate is voluminous and harmonious with a refined tannic core.
