Quintarelli, Giuseppe - Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco 2017 750ml (750ml)

A beautifully crafted, thoughtful blend, Quintarelli’s ’17 Bianco Secco is food-friendly, vibrant and lush. Ripe stone fruits and crisp orchard fruits dance with crushed river rocks, pressed white flower petals, honeyed citrus and a dusting of spices in this expressive, aromatic white. Concentrated and tight on the attack, this wine broadens out mid-palate to reveal a cornucopia of sweet fruits and stony minerality that lingers on its resonant finish. Stunning and blonde, Bianco Secco is a seductive blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Saorin deriving from 30-year-old vines grown in mineral-rich soils; grapes ferment in temperature-controlled tanks, and the wine ages in barrel.

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.
