Giuseppe Quintarelli, who guided his family's estate in Negrar for more than five decades until his death in 2012, became known as the maestro of Valpolicella. 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.
The 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.
The 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.
