Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2007

This is the kind of Amarone that makes you sit down, take a breath, and say: “Well, that was worth the wait.” Crafted in 2007 – a vintage that Amarone lovers still whisper about – this beauty spent four months air-drying (hello, appassimento) before even thinking about becoming wine. Despite the intensity of the process, it’s no heavyweight bruiser – it’s more like a velvet hammer. On the nose, you're met with baked cherries, dried herbs, dark chocolate, truffle, and a hint of smoky earthiness. The palate is smooth as a silk robe, with fine tannins, juicy acidity, and just enough spice to keep things interesting.
It’s aged like a dream, showing grace, depth and that signature Quintarelli magic that can only come from generations of care. Sip it now or leave it to dazzle your grandkids – either way, this is pure Amarone majesty.
