Rating: 4.8 (113 reviews)

Le Domaine Quintarelli est historique & emblématique de l'appellation Valpolicella et de l’Italie. C’est un domaine que l’on peut comparer à celui d'Henri Bonneau à Châteauneuf du Pape, ou même au Domaine Leflaive en Bourgogne. Francesco fait partie des personnages forts qui ont marqué l'histoire de la viticulture mondiale en produisant de grands vins & dont l'empreinte dans l’histoire continue encore aujourd’hui et j’espère… pour longtemps !

Giuseppe Quintarelli is an absolute benchmark in Veneto and one of the most legendary names in Amarone della Valpolicella. Located in Negrar, north of Verona, this 12-hectare family estate has embodied Italian artisanal excellence since 1924, driven by Giuseppe Quintarelli — known as "il Maestro del Veneto" — who passed away in 2012. Today managed by his daughter Fiorenza, son-in-law Giampaolo Grigoli, and grandsons Francesco and Lorenzo, the estate perpetuates a vision where tradition and patience prevail: Amarone, Recioto, Valpolicella Classico Superiore, and Alzero rank among Italy's most sought-after wines.

L'histoire du domaine

The history of Domaine Quintarelli begins in the early 20th century, when Silvio Quintarelli cultivated vines on a sharecropping basis with his brothers in the hamlet of Figàri, within the municipality of Marano di Valpolicella. Following the First World War, Silvio moved to the Negrar valley where, in 1924, he founded his own estate in Cerè, together with his wife and sons. The vineyard was then rooted in a traditional peasant economy. In 1950, his youngest son Giuseppe — affectionately known as "Bepi" — took over the family estate and initiated a profound transformation: over more than six decades, he perfected the appassimento technique, the traditional grape-drying method that would make Quintarelli the gold standard for Amarone. Giuseppe introduced non-native varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, and Sangiovese, whilst meticulously respecting Venetian traditions. Upon his death in January 2012, at the age of 84, he left behind an immense legacy — that of a perfectionist artisan who considered each bottle a member of his family.

Le terroir

The Quintarelli vineyard extends over 12 hectares across several sites in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, in the hills north of Verona, at an altitude of around 500 metres. The historic site of Cerè di Negrar, where the cellars sit atop the Ca' Paletta hill, is distinguished by its limestone and basalt soils — a rare geological combination that imparts exceptional minerality and complexity to the grapes. Other parcels are located in Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella in the Conca d'Oro, as well as in Valgatara and Montorio. Steep slopes ensure optimal drainage, whilst the altitude protects the vines from valley fog and promotes maximum sun exposure. The estate's viticultural philosophy rests on deliberately very low yields — achieved through severe pruning and green harvesting —, organic farming without certification, and manual sorting cluster by cluster, even berry by berry in the finest vintages. The grapes are harvested in multiple successive passes to reach perfect ripeness, then placed in wooden crates that absorb moisture and preserve fruit quality.

Les vins

The Quintarelli range embodies the quintessence of Valpolicella and ranks among Italy's most coveted wines. The core identity rests on native varieties Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Sangiovese. The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Superiore — the estate's jewel — is crafted only in exceptional years after six months of drying on mats, then spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for seven years in large Slavonian oak casks; the Amarone Riserva waits ten years before release. Years deemed insufficient give rise to Rosso del Bepi, made using the same method. The Valpolicella Classico Superiore, vinified in ripasso — re-fermentation on Amarone lees —, ages seven years in cask and achieves rare density for the appellation. Alzero, a cult cuvée blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot vinified in appassimento, ranks among Italy's most expensive wines. The estate also produces a Recioto della Valpolicella of remarkable sweet intensity, a Bianco Secco — a dry white wine predominantly Garganega —, and Primofiore, the youngest red wine release each year. Every label bears Giuseppe's stylised handwritten signature — in reality designed by chef Giorgio Gioco — now an instantly recognisable emblem.

Le vigneron

Since Giuseppe Quintarelli's death in January 2012, the estate has been managed by his eldest daughter Fiorenza, son-in-law Giampaolo Grigoli, and their two sons Francesco and Lorenzo. Francesco, Giuseppe's elder grandson, is now at the forefront of management, assisted by his brother Lorenzo — a qualified oenologist — and their parents. Trained directly by his grandfather in his youth, Francesco has inherited his reserve, uncompromising standards, and humility. A graduate in economics from the University of Milan, he worked seven years abroad before returning to oversee the estate's international markets and public relations. Together, the family perpetuates Giuseppe's legacy with scrupulous fidelity: refusal to compromise on quality, patience elevated to a cardinal virtue, absolute respect for artisanal methods passed down over a century. The estate has no website, no social media presence, and participates in no trade fairs — a stance that reflects an assumed indifference to modern marketing and a profound conviction that only the wine in the bottle should speak.
