Veneto IGT 'Alzero' 2009 (750 ml.) Giuseppe Quintarelli
'Alzero' by Giuseppe Quintarelli is one of the best red wines in Italy and the world, a masterpiece from the Negrar area in Veneto made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes. The name of this full-bodied red comes from a small plot of land next to the estate that was once overlooked and then enhanced to create a true excellence in Venetian and Italian winemaking. The cultivation of the vines takes place on the first hills at about 350 meters above sea level, where the basaltic limestone soil and the west-facing exposure of the vineyards impart the wine's organoleptic characteristics. The aging process occurs in 2 phases and lasts a full 60 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels.

THE WINE
'Alzero' by Giuseppe Quintarelli is one of the best red wines in Italy and the world, a masterpiece from the Negrar area in Veneto made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes. The name of this still red wine originates from a small plot of land next to the estate that was once ignored and later enhanced to create a true excellence of Venetian and Italian winemaking. The cultivation of the vines takes place on the first hills at about 350 meters above sea level where the calcareous basalt soil and the west-facing exposure of the vineyards impart the wine's organoleptic characteristics. The aging process, which occurs in 2 phases, lasts a full 60 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels.
THE COMPANY
The name of Giuseppe Quintarelli has been a guiding light in Valpolicella for years, representing the quintessence of a territory that is now rightly recognized as one of the most prestigious in Italian winemaking.
In the Negrar valley, twelve hectares of vineyards, where the indigenous varieties of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara meet, give rise to about 50,000 bottles annually. We are talking about a very ancient story, which began in the early 1900s with Silvio Quintarelli, and then continued, from the mid-century, in the name of tradition and maximum quality rigor with the youngest of his sons, “Bepi,” now the undisputed master of Amarone. Born from a deep respect for nature and a very strict selection of grapes, those of Quintarelli are wines with a capital "V," labels that embody important centuries-old expertise and unique awareness, which year after year are put into practice, both among the vines and in the techniques of drying and cellar practices. But it doesn't end there: those of Quintarelli are also wines that surprise with their great vitality, a characteristic that, as if that were not enough, makes them naturally predisposed to very long aging, during which they improve enormously, expressing themselves for a long time even after the bottle is opened.
