Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone Classico della Valpolicella DOCG

Description

Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone Classico della Valpolicella DOCG is an iconic Italian red wine that hails from the renowned Valpolicella region in northern Italy. Crafted using the traditional appassimento method, this Amarone is made from hand-selected, overripe Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. These grapes undergo a drying process before fermentation, which concentrates their sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine of great depth and complexity.

In the glass, Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone Classico reveals a deep, garnet-red color that is characteristic of a well-aged Amarone. The nose is incredibly rich and expressive, with aromas of ripe black cherries, figs, dried plums, and raisins. Subtle notes of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and a hint of tobacco add to the complexity. The wine’s aging in oak barrels imparts additional layers of flavor, such as hints of vanilla, chocolate, and toast.

On the palate, this Amarone is full-bodied with a velvety texture, thanks to its firm tannins and balanced acidity. The dark fruit flavors are rich and intense, complemented by a complex array of spices and earthy notes. The finish is long and persistent, with a harmonious blend of fruit, spice, and oak.

Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone Classico della Valpolicella DOCG is a perfect match for hearty dishes such as braised meats, roasted lamb, and aged cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes and grilled steaks. This wine is also a great choice for long-term aging, as it continues to evolve and gain complexity with time.
