White dry
Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco IGT 2022 is a unique, prestigious white wine that reflects the craftsmanship of the legendary Quintarelli winery and the richness of the Veneto region's terroir.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and allowed to macerate for about 12 hours at low temperature. Fermentation takes place in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks using natural yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees (sur lie) for several months, with periodic stirring (batonnage) to obtain additional complexity and texture. Less than 1% of the wine is enriched by the appassimento method using Passito Amabile del Cerè wine, which provides additional flavor nuances. Maturation takes place both in stainless steel tanks and in oak barrels to maintain the freshness of the wine and highlight its minerality.
The nose of Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco Veneto IGP 2022 reveals subtle notes of ripe yellow fruits such as peaches and melons, with soft mineral and honey nuances. The wine is medium-bodied, with well-balanced acidity and a long aftertaste. It is an elegant and harmonious wine with excellent aging potential.

Giuseppe Quintarelli is often referred to as the "godfather of Amarone," and the farm named after him is hiding from prying eyes without making the phone or address public. There is no website either. But the reputation of wine speaks for itself. The family farm, which covers just 11 hectares of limestone and basalt soil, produces very little wine every year. As if bottles marked with hands, a pen, labels adorn the vineyards of the world’s most famous restaurants. It is a farm that cherishes the old traditions of Amarone production (because it was created by itself), drying the 'Corvina', 'Corvinone' and 'Rondinella' grapes for as long as 4 months. Amarone is produced only during a particularly good harvest year. If, after 8 years of maturing in barrels, the wine still does not meet the ultra-high requirements for Amarone, the wine is released as 'Rosso del Bepi', a simple red wine from the Veneto region, although the taste is far from simple. Amarone Riserva is also released in special years. Even the red winery named after Valpolicella's appeal is produced with special attention - the grapes are dried in wooden boxes for 2 months and only then the world's most famous Valpolicella wine is made. The winery is also distinguished by the fact that Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes are also produced, making Primi Fiore and the famous Alzero wine. The winery still follows the traditions cherished by the late Giuseppe - in the tasting hall, wine is tasted during a non-sacral ceremony, where every drop of wine is cherished and spittoons are not used.
