Descrizione

The Veneto IGT "Rosso del Bepi" by Quintarelli is a true expression of craftsmanship and passion, reflecting the commitment and dedication of the Quintarelli winery, renowned for its expertise in winemaking. This wine is produced from a selection of grapes from vineyards located in the prestigious Veneto area, a region famous for the production of high-quality wines.

"Rosso del Bepi" is primarily made from Corvina grapes, along with Rondinella and Molinara, varieties typical of the area. The winemaking process follows traditional methods that include prolonged maceration and meticulous fermentation, followed by aging in large oak barrels that helps integrate flavors and mature the wine, giving it a robust and complex structure.

Visually, the wine displays an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections that develop with aging. On the nose, it offers a rich and enveloping bouquet, with scents of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, enriched by spicy and tobacco notes inherited from the wood of the barrels during aging.

On the palate, the Rosso del Bepi demonstrates extraordinary complexity and an elegant tannic texture. It is a full-bodied wine, with good acidity that brings freshness, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tannins. The lingering flavors of ripe fruit blend with subtle touches of chocolate and vanilla, culminating in a long and satisfying finish.

This wine is ideal for pairing with rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. The Veneto IGT "Rosso del Bepi" by Quintarelli is not just a wine, but an experience that reflects the history and craftsmanship of Venetian viticulture.

Winery history

The winery began as a family enterprise tied to Valpolicella Classica. Giuseppe Quintarelli brought the winery to international recognition thanks to the artisanal care in winemaking and the rigorous selection of grapes. Production has remained family-run over the years, and Bepi’s work is widely cited as the cornerstone of the winery’s reputation.

Production philosophy

Traditional method based on manual grape selection, the appassimento used for styles such as Amarone and Recioto, and a cautious quality policy that, in some cases, leads to downgrading wines when they are not deemed worthy of the top label. Strong focus on tradition and on the territorial character of the wines.

Terroir and vineyards

The winery is rooted in the classic Valpolicella zone, in the Negrar/Verona area, an area known for its indigenous grape varieties and for the appassimento techniques employed in typical local productions.
