Hand-harvested grapes from the warm 2017 vintage undergo brief appassimento drying for concentration, leaning toward Ripasso style, followed by fermentation and 5-6 years' aging in large Slavonian oak casks for seamless integration. As an iconic expression from the legendary Quintarelli estate, this production yields a deep ruby wine with remarkable balance and aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e A full-bodied Valpolicella Superiore with aromas of red cherries, restrained black pepper, graphite, and flowers, tingling acidity, warming alcohol, firm chalky-yet-ripe tannins that are just a bit tight at the end, and a good toasty finish.
