Quintarelli 1998 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Editors' Choice
There’s something magical about this wine: the purity, the elegance, the harmony, the immediate rush of intensity. This is one of Italy’s iconic wines thanks to the profound purity it delivers with notes of chocolate, leather, cherry, apple, cola and spice. It imparts loads of succulent flavor and is simply beautiful.

Quintarelli 2000 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
Even with the elder Giuseppe Quintarelli in retirement, this storied name in Valpolicella continues to make one of the most classic and traditional expressions of Amarone available today. The layered bouquet releases tones of smoky graphite, dried fruit, prune, ginger, hummus and sweet strawberry jam.

Quintarelli 2001 Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore)
- Online Exclusive
Aged for eight years in oak cask, this is a magical, meditative wine from the grandfather of Valpolicella tradition. The wine opens with a bright ruby hue with lively aromas of apple skin, white cherry, cranberry and delicate shadings of soft spice, smoke and licorice.

Quintarelli 1997 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $300
Big in alcohol at 16% and big in reputation; we liked this wine but did not really find it up to its icon status. The nose shows a bit of volatile acidity as well as a hint of horseradish, but it also delivers fine cherry and sugared cake notes. Rather intense in the mouth, with a touch of cherry skin and grit along with cola. Finishes long and correct.

Quintarelli 1999 Primofiore Red (Veronese)
- $32
A clean and easy wine from a venerable producer. While not a blockbuster, Giuseppe Quintarelli has made an earthy, leafy interesting wine with cherry and vanilla characteristics and some leathery qualities. Moderate tannins and a short finish indicate that it’s a drink-now type of wine.
