His wines are wonderful examples of Giuseppe Quintarelli’s uncompromising approach to winegrowing, which is reflected in the amount of time, effort, patience, and care that go into the making of a bottle of Quintarelli. It truly is so much more than wine.
Located in the Valpolicella zone in north-eastern Italy, the estate produces wines revered by oenophiles around the world. It was established in 1924 but it was Giuseppe Quintarelli, in charge from the mid-1950s until his death in 2012, who drove its success.
Guiseppe Quintarelli, affectionately known as ‘Bepi’, established the legendary estate over the course of his amazing sixty-year career. He produced wines that inspired passions far beyond any other producer’s in the Veneto, and like few others in Italy. In an era that emphasized mass production over attention to detail, Quintarelli made wines without compromise, with labour-intensive methods and painstaking attention in the vineyard.
While traditional practice served as the foundations of Quintarelli’s winegrowing practice, it does not follow that Giuseppe is afraid of innovation. As well as the excellent Amarone, he produces an excellent dry white wine called Bianco Secco and a flamboyant, but powerful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Corvina labelled Primo Fiore and sought after as any cult Cabernet.
Today Giuseppe’s daughter Fiorenza, his son-in-law Giampaolo, and his grandsons Francesco and Lorenzo are all keeping a close watch over the family’s legacy.
