Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2003 Quintarelli

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Aged in botte grande for six years, the 2003 Valpolicella Classico Superiore shows delicate tones of tiny berry fruit, balsam herb, root beer, dried sage and crushed white pepper. It shows the best of this legendary artisan producer. In the mouth, the wine is nuanced and elegant with a fine and extremely polished feel. Tiny parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese make their way into the blend.

Wine Enthusiast (92)

Aged in large oak casks for six long years, Quintarelli's exceptional Valpolicella blend—which has tiny percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese—shows ethereal tones of licorice, dried ginger, wild berry and spice. The texture is smooth and polished, showing a touch of chopped mint.
