2017 Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore Magnum

The 2017 Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore Magnum is a benchmark expression of one of Veneto’s most revered estates, presented in magnum for added ageing potential and cellar appeal. Crafted by the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli house, it carries the quiet prestige, depth, and precision that have made the winery an icon among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Valpolicella Classico Superiore typically shows a deep ruby hue with graceful concentration. The nose is layered and nuanced, often unfolding with ripe cherries, dried red berries, sweet spice, herbal tones, and a subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, it is refined and beautifully balanced, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a savoury, elegant finish. The magnum format supports particularly graceful ageing, and this wine should continue to develop complexity over many years.

Production
Produced in Valpolicella Classico in Veneto, this wine comes from a historic zone known for limestone-rich hillside vineyards and a climate shaped by both the Alps and nearby Lake Garda. Quintarelli is known for meticulous vineyard work and selective harvesting, with grapes typically handled with great care to preserve purity and structure. Vinification follows the estate’s traditionally patient approach, favouring extended maturation to build depth, finesse, and longevity.
