Quintarelli Amarone 2012 750ml

$590.00 including GST

Description

This wine has a deep, dark hue, which is complemented by thick density and smokey aromas that rise from the glass, followed by exotic spice, campfire ash, camphor, and plenty of dark plummy and raisiny fruit. Aromas of bitter cocoa and broken slate emerge from the bouquet.

The wine has enough of ripeness and fruity sweetness in the mouth, yet there is enough supporting structure to absorb both the sugar and the alcohol. The lengthy and velvety finish with a beautifully fragrant earthy note.

A traditional blend of the local grapes Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella. They are dried for months before being aged in oak for several years. Like many wines from this region, the alcohol content can be high, yet Quintarelli can produce a wine with a ridiculously high alcohol content while still retaining a freshness and elegance hidden beneath that power.

This wine is only made in exceptional vintages, with the next release scheduled for 2011. The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a mysteriously fleeting wine that is also highly strong. The alcohol percentage is 16.5%, which is one of the most essential factors in determining whether a vintage is good enough to manufacture Amarone.
