The late, great Giuseppe Quintarelli was a radical traditionalist who proved Bordeaux grapes could make profound, quintessentially Veneto wines, and Alzero is the most extraordinary proof: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, dried in the appassimento method like his Amarone, then aged for years in oak. The 1994 is a mature back-vintage and a genuine rarity, one of the hardest Quintarelli wines to find. Decades on, expect dark fruit gone to dried fig, leather, tobacco, and sweet spice, with the dried-grape richness woven into savory depth. Drink now. Provenance from a private cellar.

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.
