For Giuseppe, as with his father, the challenge of Recioto is a labor of love, but then it’s a historic wine: the Port-like Reicoto della Valpolicella Classico dates back to the early days of the Venetian Empire. This gorgeous, graceful wine is unfortified and its fermentation is arrested earlier than Quintarelli’s regular Valpolicella, thus leaving a higher amount of residual sugar and creating a sweeter wine with a palate of raisins, sweet spices, leather, and chocolate.

Known as "the Master of the Veneto," Quintarelli makes some of the world’s most sought-after wines, and their releases always create commensurate fervor. Quintarelli’s limited production Amarones, Reciotos, and Valpolicellas are the benchmark for excellence. Their greatness stems from the inherent quality of the terroir and the natural talent of this master, whose concept of vintage standards and strict grape selection rivals the great Chateau of Sauternes. Quintarelli puts his wines on the market when he deems them ready, sometimes cellaring them for decades until the right moment arrives. True thinking wines that slow the pace and teach the drinker to be silent, Quintarelli’s wines are unlike any other in the world.
