Giuseppe Quintarelli
Amabile del Ceré Passito Bianco Veneto Garganega
This is an absolutely beautiful wine but strangely disappointing if the 2007 is your reference wine. Apricot, Peach, Honey with very good acidity. Needs more time.

Nov 28th, 2024Absolute master piece. Incredible balance between acidity and sweetness. Layers and layers of tropical fruit, extremely complex. Is there anything that quintarelli does that is not excellent ? Best of all got a 10 pct discount on the already great price because nobody drinks “sweet” wines.
