Amabile del Cere Bandito, a white passito blend, comes from late-harvest grapes, many of which have been affected by “noble rot” (aka botrytis cinerea) that concentrates the grapes flavors and sugars. This medium-sweet dessert wine has a deeply pleasing creamy texture with notes of maple syrup, apricots, caramel, burned sugar, nuts and yellow raisins. It’s rare, it’s yummy, and it’s drinking now.

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.
