One of Italy's most singular wines, in a back-vintage that is now over thirty years old. The late Giuseppe Quintarelli, a saint of Valpolicella traditionalism, proved that Bordeaux varieties could make something incredible and quintessentially Veneto: Alzero is a Cabernet-based red (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and a little Merlot) made in the Amarone style, with the grapes dried for months before pressing, then aged for years in French and Slavonian oak. The result is a profound, sweet-fruited yet dry red of extraordinary depth. The 1993 is fully mature; and the excellent provenance and storage for this wine matter at this age. A collector's wine for a special occasion, served from a decanter.

More about Giuseppe Quintarelli

The icon of Valpolicella showed that traditional methods—extreme patience, obsessive detail, and refusal to compromise—could craft wines of staggering depth and complexity. For over six decades, Quintarelli aged his Amarone and Recioto in oak far longer than anyone else, releasing only what met his exacting standards. His legendary hand-written labels are a collector's dream; his wines, a masterclass in what Venetian terroir can achieve.
