Description
The wines of Quintarelli are considered to be among the finest ever created, anywhere. Produced in limited quantity, and only in years that meet the exacting standards set by Quintarelli, the wines are aged to perfection in small barrels before release. The Alzero is produced in the Amarone-style with the grapes being dried for months prior to vinification. The 2001 Alzero has not yet been reviewed, but the 2000 earned a score of 96 from Antonio Galloni (erobertparker.com). With the strict limitations placed upon the release of these wines, there is understandably considerable excitement surrounding the arrival of the 2001.
Tasting Notes
The 2000 Alzero wafts from the glass with an intriguing melange of white and black truffles, roasted coffee beans, wild herbs, blackberries and new saddle leather. This intriguing, beguiling wine captures the essence of the 2000 vintage at Quintarelli. Layers of radiant, perfumed fruit flow effortlessly to the round, polished finish. The 2000 Alzero is another brilliant wine from Quintarelli. Alzero is predominantly Cabernet Franc, made Amarone-style, in which the fruit is dried for several months prior to vinification and subsequent aging in medium-size casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2011)
