Amarone
The extraction and the supple, exotic nature of the wines from Quintarelli, the godfather of Amarone, are hard to believe, and perhaps even more so to describe. It must be experienced!

Complete description
Vintage Description:
Sour cherries, notes of rose, sweet spice and hints of cedar and mint. It’s deeply textural yet precise, with a polished and pure display of purple-tinged red fruit contrasted by zesty acids and a slight herbal twang. Undeniably elegant, with a slow-mounting structure that sneaks up on you through the finale. This gentle giant tapers off long and floral, only hinting at the depths that further cellaring will bring.wine:
