WINE DESCRIPTION
Quintarelli Giuseppe Veneto Bianco Secco is an exceptional white wine that embodies the expertise of Quintarelli, a renowned winery rooted in the Veneto region of Italy. Crafted from a blend of native and international white grape varieties, with Garganega at its core (70%), complemented by Trebbiano, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards are nestled in Valpolicella, around the Quintarelli estate, on the eastern side of the Negrar valley, north of Verona and the Adige River. These vineyards are about 250 meters above sea level, benefiting from western exposure and calcareous-basaltic soils. The winemaking philosophy is rooted in natural practices. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a brief cold maceration before spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Aging on fine lees continues for several months in steel tanks, with periodic manual batonnage. Quintarelli's Bianco Secco reveals a complex aromatic profile, dominated by ripe yellow fruit notes in a sunny, mineral framework. The palate offers an elegant density: rich, soft, and aromatic, balanced by a lively freshness and a lingering saline nuance.
