Giuseppe Quintarelli's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is born in the hills of Valpolicella Classica, from traditional native grapes –mainly Corvina and Corvinone, with Rondinella and other smaller varieties – grown according to practices respectful of tradition and the territory. After manual harvesting, the grapes are placed in crates and left to wilt slowly for several months in well-ventilated rooms, concentrating aromas and structure. Winemaking takes place with long macerations and spontaneous fermentations, followed by a very long aging in large oak barrels, which allows the wine to achieve an extraordinary balance and unique complexity. A Amarone designed for time and slow evolution.
On the nose it is deep, broad and constantly evolving, with notes of red and black fruit in spirit, cherry, plum and jam, accompanied by hints of spices, cocoa, tobacco, licorice and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is powerful but of great finesse, with an imposing structure, silky tannins, a surprising freshness and a very long persistence, which returns balsamic and spicy sensations on the finish.
Wine of extraordinary personality and prestige, ideal for important occasions and moments of meditation. It pairs with structured dishes such as braised meats, overcooked meats, game, elaborate red meats and highly aged cheeses. Excellent also tasted on its own, to capture every nuance.
To fully appreciate its complexity and balance, a service temperature of 18°C is recommended
