Valpolicella, Verona

Giuseppe Quintarelli

Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2006

Medium deep ruby , quite thin garnet rim . Aromatic and open at the start , dried herbs , rosemary , thyme , hedgerow , dried dark cherry , black tea , black pepper and touch of anis. On the palate this is quite rich , but with refreshing acidity , dried dark fruits, black tea and dried wild herbs , hedgerow notes . Quite fine tannins and surprisingly integrated alcohol with a long dried rose , herbal tinged finish . This is perfect now but no rush though is unlikely to improve, from now and over the next 5 -8 years . A unique take on Valpolicella , complex, lively and though
Weighty is extremely well balanced .

Selezione Antonio Castagnedi Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2019

Dark ruby with aromas of blackberry, stewed red fruits, cedar/oak, and a bit of smoke. On the bud, it’s rich and full bodied with nice acidity. It has a slight tanginess with more red fruits. Of course, great with our pasta! — a month ago

Roccolo Grassi

Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2017

A touch past its prime but showing well overall. Stylistically somewhere between Quintarelli and Ca’ La Bionda. I was expecting a little more funk. Medium bodied (perhaps due to the vintage) with a sleek and elegant texture. — a month ago
