Critics reviews

Eric Guido 93/100

The 2016 Valpolicella Classico Superiore is wild and exotic in the glass, with a spicy burst of citrus and hints of graphite that give way to crushed blackberries and incense. This is a juicy and vibrant interpretation of Quintarelli Valpolicella, with a wave of mineral-tinged wild berry fruit that washes across the palate, guided by stimulating acidity. It tapers off on a note of refinement, still quite mineral and classically dry, with a coating of fine tannins that add a pleasantly crunchy sensation. Since no Amarone was produced in 2016, the Valpolicella received a percentage of that fruit, propelling this beauty to the next level.

Drink 2024 - 2030

About this wine

Valpolicella

Valpolicella

Valpolicella is a renowned red wine region in northern Italy, particularly in the province of Verona. The wines are typically light to medium-bodied, fruity, approachable and made from a blend of local grape varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. Notable styles from the region include Ripasso, made by fermenting Valpolicella on Amarone lees, and Amarone, a dry, full-bodied wine from dried grapes.
