His insistence on painstaking fruit sorting, native fermentations and years of ageing in large, ornately carved Slavonian oak casks set a standard that the family, now led by his grandson Francesco Grigoli, continues to uphold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valpolicella Classico Superiore is made from Corvina and Corvinone, Rondinella and a small share of other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese, grown on the estate's vineyards in the Classico zone. A portion of the grapes is air-dried before pressing, and the young wine is later refermented on the lees of the estate's Amarone, the traditional ripasso method that adds depth, structure and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is then aged for around seven years in large Slavonian oak casks, longer than many producers age their Amarone, before it is released. The result is a Valpolicella of unusual concentration and complexity that shows the unmistakable Quintarelli style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.
