The work of Giuseppe Quintarelli has been a real source of inspiration for all those manufacturers who have begun to grapple with the production of Amarone, and today the winery can be considered a point of reference for those who want to approach this wine.
The company, also without the supervision of its founder, continues to be an excellence in this world.
The vineyards surround the winery and are mostly on calcareous and basaltic soils. The rest of the property includes land in Sant'Ambrogio, in the famous Conca d'Oro, in Montorio and Valgatara. Great attention to details, such as the use of wooden stakes in vineyard, precautions in pruning, wooden boxes for harvesting and arelle bamboo for drying, are the aspects that in the vineyard and winery are adopted to ensure maximum wine quality in full respect of the traditions.
Complexity, character and uniqueness in the aromas are the essential characteristics of the wines of Quintarelli, who are at one with their land of origin, proud bearers of a unique and inimitable as the Amarone.
