Veneto IGT 'Rosso del Bepi' 2014 (750 ml.) Giuseppe Quintarelli

THE WINE

The 'Rosso del Bepi' from Quintarelli is a red wine with an extraordinary structure that, resulting from a balanced blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Cabernet Sauvignon and a long aging of 7 years in large oak barrels, offers an exciting and memorable drinking experience. It presents a complex bouquet that ranges from red fruits to licorice and tobacco, with a silky, elegant, and velvety consistency, and a delicate sip thanks to the perfectly integrated tannic structure, with beautiful persistence. A full-bodied label that pairs well with second courses based on red meat and game, capable of holding its own. Exceptional.

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 valley of Negrar, twelve hectares of vineyards, where the native varieties of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara meet, produce about 50,000 bottles annually. We are talking about an ancient story that began in the early 1900s with Silvio Quintarelli, then continued, from the mid-century, in the sign of tradition and maximum quality rigor with the youngest of his sons, “Bepi,” now the undisputed master of Amarone. Born from a profound respect for nature and a rigorous selection of grapes, Quintarelli wines are with a capital "V", labels that encapsulate important centuries-old expertise and unique awareness, which year after year are put into practice, both in the vineyards and in the techniques of drying and cellar practices. But it doesn't end there: Quintarelli wines also surprise with their great vitality, a characteristic that, as if that weren't enough, makes them naturally predisposed for very long aging, during which they improve enormously, expressing themselves for a long time even after the bottle is opened.
