Quintarelli Cabernet Alzero 2017

Quintarelli’s Cabernet Alzero 2017 is one of Veneto’s most distinctive and coveted red wines, blending Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the unmistakably meticulous style of Giuseppe Quintarelli. Deeply individual and beautifully composed, it reflects the estate’s legendary approach to craftsmanship, patience and tradition, making it a true reference point for collectors of fine Italian wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is typically deep and concentrated, with a dark garnet core and impressive intensity. The nose is layered and refined, offering blackcurrant, ripe plum, graphite, dried herbs, cedar, cocoa and subtle balsamic tones, with the Cabernet Franc lending aromatic lift and precision. On the palate, Alzero is full-bodied yet exceptionally graceful, combining dense dark fruit with savory complexity, firm structure and polished tannins. The finish is long and resonant, with freshness and mineral drive balancing the wine’s richness. This is a wine with superb aging potential and should continue to develop nuance for many years, gaining even more harmony and tertiary complexity over time.

Production
Produced in Veneto by Giuseppe Quintarelli, Alzero comes from carefully selected fruit grown with the estate’s exacting standards and traditional winemaking philosophy. Quintarelli is known for patient cellar work and an approach that emphasizes concentration, balance and longevity, and the wine is crafted with great attention to detail from vineyard to bottle, resulting in a signature style that is both powerful and finely etched.
