2017 Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore
94
James Suckling
Review Date: 05/2024Aromas of red cherries, restrained black pepper, graphite and flowers. Full-bodied with tingling acidity and warming alcohol. Firm, chalky yet ripe tannins that are just a bit tight at the end, otherwise a good, toasty finish. Exuberant fruit yet balanced overall by the structure. Drink or hold.

Notes
The Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2017 is a testament to the legendary winemaking of Giuseppe Quintarelli, known as the "Maestro del Veneto." The Quintarelli estate, located in the Valpolicella region of Veneto, has long been revered for its meticulous, traditional approach to winemaking, producing some of Italy’s most sought-after wines. Quintarelli's Valpolicella is made using a unique style, incorporating a portion of dried grapes in the blend, adding depth and complexity. The 2017 vintage saw warm conditions, leading to a wine with concentrated aromas of dark cherries, plums, and hints of spice and earth. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks, it retains elegance and structure, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering finish. This Valpolicella showcases Quintarelli’s signature balance of power and finesse, offering a refined expression of the region. Ideal for pairing with braised meats, risottos, or aged cheeses, the Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2017 embodies the Quintarelli family’s commitment to quality and tradition.
