Description
'The last time I visited this historic estate, Giuseppe Quintarelli was alive and I photographed him in the soft afternoon light with his beloved Negrar landscape at his back. So much has changed here since his passing in 2012. His daughter Fiorenza and her children have refurbished the winery with modern touches and new spaces, added new barrels (with beautiful wood carvings on the front panels dedicated to various family members) and have expanded the estate's commercial reach.'

Tasting Notes
The generous black fruit, tobacco, smoke, licorice and incense in this wine could stand in as the definition of nuance. It's sourced from vines averaging 30 years of age and produced from select barrels only in exceptional vintages. This silky, polished, refined wine has the potential to age for three decades.
