Description
When one tastes a wine with the elegance, concentration, finesse, length and complexity to be found in the Rosso del Bepi, it's hard to imagine that these wines represent those that have not met the exacting standards demanded by Quintarelli for their Amarone. It's almost inconceivable that such a collectible, delicious, spicy, earthy and impeccably balanced wine does not represent the flagship offering of an estate. But such is the quality and rigour of Quintarelli.

Tasting Notes
The 2014 Rosso del Bepi is understated yet very pretty, showing nuances of woodland berries laced with sour citrus, savory herbs and a hint of animal muskiness. This washes across the palate with silken textures, yet delivers masses of tart red berries and minerals that add grippy tension. It's remarkably fresh and zesty in character, and it's amazing to think that the 2014 underwent the same appassimento that an Amarone did in better years. This tapers off spicy with a sour citrus twang under inner violet florals, as round tannins linger. The 2014 may not have the depth of a Quintarelli Amarone, but it instead possesses verve and is packed full of character. Drinking window: 2022-2028. Score - 93. (Eric Guido, vinous.com, April 2022)
