Giuseppe Quintarelli 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Amarone della Valpolicella is one of Italy's most iconic wines.  As with all Valpolicellas, the wine is a blend of the Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grape varieties.  

Amarone is produced through a process of partially rack-drying grapes - to increase concentration of both natural grape flavours and sugars - for approximately 4 months before winemaking begins.  The result is a wine of atypical power, concentration and alcohol content with an ability to benefit from long periods of maturation.

The renowned Quintarelli was founded in the 1920s by Silvio Quintarelli. His son, Giuseppe Quintarelli took over the estate in the 1950s and became a legendary pioneer of Valpolicella wines and one of the most revered winemakers in Italy. Today his daughter Fiorenza and her husband run the estate.
