Giuseppe Quintarelli

Giuseppe Quintarelli is the Veneto’s most importer producer, renowned for his near-mythical Amarone, Recioto and the cult wine, Alzero. Although there are other fine Amarone producers, including Quintarelli’s protégée, Romano dal Forno, the Quintarelli Amarone is inarguably the benchmark for the wine. Quintarelli also established the standard for other Veneto reds, including Recioto and Valpolicella Superiore. He is a resolute traditionalist, following the winemaking standards and practices established by his father and grandfather. He is also a perfectionist, practicing rigorous grape selection and releasing his wines to market when he deems them ready—often many years after his fellow Veneto producers.

Sergio has confessed that he remains at a loss as to how Quintarelli does that thing he does—namely, the crafting of life-altering wines that induce impassioned states in wine enthusiasts of all persuasions. Quintarelli once told Sergio that the most integral element in a winemaker's approach is patience—a virtue that is virtually obsolete in the realm of the modern winemaker. While Sergio entertained the possibility that patience might be the method to the Master's majesty, he concluded that Quintarelli's wines simply can't be rationalized. Patience, however, is necessary when encountering these expressions: "They are thinking wines, meaning that they force you to reflect.  Nothing else even comes close. You may confuse a Giacomo Conterno Monfortino with a Bartolo Mascarello Barolo...[and] a California Cabernet with a first-growth Bordeaux, but once you taste Quintarelli you'll never forget." ~Sergio Esposito    Intense with complex structure and strength that make this wine suitable for long-term aging in the cellar.
