  • 2001 Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore - Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Valpolicella Classico Superiore (9/29/2013)
    Purchased off the wine list at Fiaschetteria Toscana. Dark purple with garnet glints. Full nose of plum, leather, lily, earth. Huge, smooth palate of red plum, currant, graphite, cumin, and tart mulberry. Lower acid wine with rounded off tannins. Big, ringing finish of brambly sweet red fruit. Wow, super serious Valpolicella with weight and gravitas to burn. (92 pts.)

Thanks for the note, Doug; recent pricing on this often stellar wine has gotten a bit beyond my comfort level. Sadly.

Thanks for your reply. I found this on the wine list for about 115 euros and jumped on it. It turned out to be well-stored and open for business.

Cheers,
Doug
