Complete description
Vintage Description:
The 2016 is wild and exotic in the glass, with a spicy burst of citrus and hints of graphite that give way to crushed blackberries and incense. This is a juicy and vibrant interpretation of the wine, with a wave of mineral-tinged wild berry fruit that washes across the palate, guided by stimulating acidity. (Eric Guido - Vinous, December 2023)wine:

This wine redefines the character of the Veronese Classico Superiore in a remarkable way. With it, Quintarelli sets a benchmark that remains out of reach for most producers in the region, positioning the wine on its own level between classic Valpolicella and Amarone.country:
