The late Giuseppe Quintarelli put the Valpolicella region on the world wine map, and his benchmark estate is now run by daughter Fiorenza and her family. Quintarelli's extraordinary, limited-production Amarone - made using corvina, corvinone, rondinella, cabernet, nebbiolo, croatina and sangiovese grapes - is a Holy Grail for serious oenophiles.
Other coveted drops include Quintarelli's austere Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC, velvety Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOC, and spicy, potent Alzero Cabernet IGT.
