Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2016
/ #64583124
This 2016 Valpolicella Classico Superiore expresses Quintarelli's uncompromising approach to both vinification and aging. The wine is made according to the tradition of the area and is primarily blended from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, with small fractions of local grapes added. At Quintarelli, it is characteristic that part of the must is allowed to undergo a second fermentation with grape pomace from the Amarone production, which adds extra complexity and structure.
The 'Classico Superiore' classification indicates both the origin from the classic Valpolicella hills and the longer aging in large barrels, which gives a more nuanced, balanced profile. The 2016 vintage is generally considered harmonious and classic in Veneto, with good acidity and fine aging potential.
Quintarelli is a producer associated with a depth and transparency, where fruit, herbs and light balsamic notes are discreet but persistent. The consistency and aging potential of the wine make it an obvious choice if you value elegance and complexity over overwhelming power.
