While this is Quintarelli's current vintage it does show its age with a medium Garnet color and aromas that are mainly tertiary in nature - the cherry fruit is underpinned with earth, forest floor, leather, wet stone and tobacco. I doubt it will improve with further age and I don't expect it will gain more charm. All in all a surprisingly austere effort

A very nice Valpolicella. You notice the smooth, silky notes up front. Deep currant, floral elements. So rich, you barely notice the high alcohol content. Classic Quintarelli quality. I still enjoy the Rosso Ca del Merlo for a similar price point.
