About this product
Italy's most revered Amarone — from Giuseppe Quintarelli's Monte Ca' Paletta estate. Grapes dried 4–5 months on bamboo racks before pressing; fermentation in large Slavonian oak casks, then minimum 7 years in barrel and 2 years in bottle before release. Opaque ruby-black; extraordinary complexity of dried cherry, dark chocolate, fig, tobacco, dried violet, and leather. Needs 20+ years; lives for 50+.
Pairing intelligence
complement
The classic Venetian pairing — Amarone braised beef creates a mirror of the wine's own concentrated flavours; the polenta absorbs the rich braising liquid while providing textural contrast.

complement
Quintarelli's weight and bitter-dry finish is cut by the crystalline sharpness of aged Parmigiano; the dark honey bridges the wine's dried-fruit sweetness.

cheese
complement
The wine's dried-fruit concentration and forest floor depth harmonises with wild boar's gaminess; the juniper resonates with Amarone's inherent herbal bitterness.
