Absolute 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.

A rare Passito of white grapes: Garganega, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Trebbiano and Savorin. Awesome.

Given its history, its story, and its rarity, I wanted to LOVE this, but as lovely and delicious as it is, it doesn’t measure up to the best Sauternes. Don’t get me wrong — I would drink it all day long, just not on my dime.
