Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva 2015 750mL

"Made primarily with a blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, the Quintarelli Giuseppe 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva has been in bottle since November 2023 (and was released at the end of 2024). This is a wine of impact and intensity, with the textural heft and richness to match. This warm and sunny vintage delivers aromas of dried plum, sweet cigar, spice and brandied cherry. In terms of structure, the wine remains quite firm and compact, and this bodes especially well for its future bottle evolution. The alcohol content is recorded at 16.5%, and the 2015 vintage carries three to four grams per liter of residual sugar that adds a lasting sense of volume and depth to the finish." - Wine Advocate, RP97+ (ML), tasted 12/2024
