The Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC by Quintarelli elegantly expresses the richness of the Veneto terroir, revealing a deep connection with the region's winemaking tradition. Produced by the historic Quintarelli winery, which is renowned for its dedication to quality and artisanal methods, this wine is the result of a careful selection of the finest native grapes.

The varietal composition is primarily made up of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, grape varieties that give the wine a robust structure and distinctive aromatic notes. In the winemaking process, Quintarelli adopts the method of partial drying, which intensifies the concentration of sugars and aromas, giving the Valpolicella Classico Superiore a velvety and complex texture.

Visually, the wine exhibits an intense ruby red color, which turns to garnet with aging. On the nose, there is a rich bouquet of ripe cherries, sweet spices, and a slight hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is enveloping, with a harmonious balance between acidity and well-integrated tannins, making it persistent and pleasantly complex.

Ideal for pairing with classic Italian dishes such as grilled meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, the Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC by Quintarelli also stands out for its aging potential, gracefully evolving over several years in the cellar.

With a rating that reflects the mastery and passion of the producer, this Valpolicella Classico Superiore is an excellent choice for connoisseurs looking to explore the quintessence of Venetian red wines.

Very happy good first time experience with this shop!

So, things that make you nervous are;
- ordering from a site you've not met before
- doing that for a decent amount of money (6 bottles +2 others)
- seeing delivery options... DHL or UPS... oi... both have a bad reputation in my street
- getting a track&trace that says "1kg" on the notice.....

Yes, this first encounter was so stressful, but it was soo extremely unjustified! The bottles were absolutely perfectly packed! The delivery guy could have dropped it down a stairs and they probably still survived! A box of 8 bottles, top and bottom double layered carboard box with holders and all.

If you ever have doubts about ordering, this shop will not be the element where it goes wrong. The delivery guys with poor tracking (how do you mean it suddenly appeared in Germany from Italy?) or wrong information or not even showing up on the right moment? All, but the box, perfect!

The wine, well.... let's say the triumph has already been celebrated! So the first bottle was opened to check the new vintage. Quintarelli rarely let's me down, so neither did this one. Yes, it's young and I would recommend at least 2-3 years before touching it again, but the leather, fullness and balance on tannins is already good. It can use age for some complexity and ripening of some of the fruits into the taste as it was still a bit 'rough' between it.

As a wine, if you know this one, this one will be very interesting to observe and I can't wait for 3 years from now for drinking these bottles!
