🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH
The 1983 Giuseppe Quintarelli Recioto Classico della Valpolicella is hailed by Antonio Galloni as 【one of the greatest wines he has ever tasted】. The 1983 vintage was generally very good for much of the wine world, and legendary for Sauternes. This sweet dessert wine, made from a Corvina blend, is described as youthful and bright, yet showing positive signs of aging. It offers a complex bouquet of chocolate, berries, and almost Madeira-esque qualities, with a welcoming acidity. Expect hugely savory compote of cherry and plums, accompanied by seductive sweetness, without being sickly. It carries its concentration, alcohol, and sweetness effortlessly, a masterclass in concentration with subtlety and balance.
