Acquired directly from the estate and held in bonded storage since release, representing exceptional provenance and condition integrity.
Giuseppe Quintarelli, often referred to as the “Master of the Veneto,” established a legacy of uncompromising quality and traditional craftsmanship. The estate remains family-run and continues to follow the meticulous methods that define its wines.
Production is deliberately limited, with extended drying of grapes (appassimento), long fermentation, and ageing periods that can exceed a decade before release. Quintarelli’s Amarone Riserva is produced only in the finest vintages and is widely regarded as one of the most collectible wines in Italy, commanding strong global demand and consistent secondary market performance.
The 2007 vintage in the Veneto is considered exceptional, with warm, stable conditions allowing for optimal grape ripening and concentration. Wines from this year are noted for their richness, structure, and longevity.
For Quintarelli, such vintages allow for the production of Riserva-level Amarone, released only after extended ageing and careful selection, resulting in wines with remarkable depth and long-term cellaring potential extending well beyond two decades.
