The great and late Master of the Veneto, Giuseppe Quintarelli, managed to establish his mythical and legendary legacy over the course of an extraordinary sixty-year career. All the tradition, love, heart and soul of processing create one of the best wines in the world on the Veronese hills. Giuseppe Franca's wife, his daughter Fiorenza, his son Giampaolo, and his grandchildren Francesco and Lorenzo are all in the company. It is impossible to talk about Quintarelli without superlatives. The name itself means a lot: the family, the wines, a style, a tradition, a way of doing things. After all the time, effort, patience, and care that goes into crafting a bottle of Quintarelli means so much more than the wine. Giuseppe, affectionately known as "Bepi" to those closest to him, was a perfectionist in every way. From the beautiful handwritten labels, the finest quality cork, to the exquisite wine in the bottles, the Quintarelli name is a stamp of authenticity and the ultimate indication of an artisanal, handmade, uncompromising wine of the highest quality. Nothing is ever rushed at Quintarelli. The wines take their time and are given the time they need. In the still, calm quiet of the family's cellars above the town of Negrar, along the winding Via del Cerè, deep in the Valpolicella, the wine from the hilly vineyards is processed by the family with patience and grace in large barrels until it is ready. Each version is a masterpiece, a testament to time, tradition, skill and passion, the creations of a master craftsman. You can't really compare these wines to any other in the region, or anywhere else in the world. They are truly in a class and category all their own.
