Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2018

Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2018 is a beautifully crafted red from one of Veneto’s most revered names, offering remarkable depth and finesse without losing its classic Valpolicella charm. With its granat red color and layered profile of cedar, wood smoke, graphite, and ripe red fruit, it captures the elegance and seriousness that have made Giuseppe Quintarelli an icon among Italian wine lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a medium garnet hue that hints at both freshness and quiet intensity. The nose opens with cedar, smoky wood, and graphite, followed by cherry and ripe raspberry, giving the wine a refined, slightly savory aromatic profile. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with bright cherry and raspberry supported by plum, wild herbs, and a discreet oak influence. It is balanced, polished, and expressive, with enough structure to age gracefully over the next several years, developing more nuance and complexity with time.

Production
Produced in Valpolicella Classica in Veneto, this wine reflects the region’s historic hillside vineyards and Quintarelli’s meticulous approach to winemaking. The style typically emphasizes low yields, careful selection, and traditional cellar work to preserve purity, structure, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, grilled pork, veal, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C and consider a short decant if enjoyed young to help the aromatics open fully.

Producer

Founded on a philosophy of patience, precision, and uncompromising quality, the estate has earned legendary status for wines of exceptional balance, longevity, and character.
