Guiseppe Quintarelli - Veneto Bianco Secco 2019
Giuseppe Quintarelli is located in Verona, in the Veneto region of Italy. The estate dates back to 1924 and but it was Giuseppe Quintarelli (known as Bepi, in charge from the mid-1950s until his death in 2012) who drove its success. Giuseppe established the winery as the source of the most traditional styles of Amarone, ageing it for seven years in Slavonian oak; the result is one of the most complex wines produced in Italy. Even though he is traditional in his Amarone production, it does not follow that Giuseppe is afraid of innovation. As well as the Amarone, he produces a dry white wine called Bianco Secco and a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Corvina labelled Primo Fiore. Giuseppe’s daughter, Fiorenza, her husband, Giampaolo Grigoli, and their children Francesco and Lorenzo, are currently involved in running the winery.
The Bianco Secco is a blend of Garganega, Trebbiano, Saorin, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged on the lees.
Grape varieties: Garganega, Trebbiano, Saorin, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
