FEATURES
The Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco 2024 is a magnificent and refined white blend, capturing the volcanic minerality and depth of Valpolicella's terroir, offering both freshness and complexity. It is a barrel-aged white wine crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc, and Garganega varieties by the Guiseppe Quintarelli winery in the Veneto region of Italy. The Quintarelli name is synonymous with some of the best wines in the world, known for a production style where tradition, effort, and patience are evident in every bottle. The grapes come from vines with an average age of 30 years, planted in mineral-rich soils and grown using respectful, organic, and ecological practices. The 2024 vintage is described with a captivating and layered nose, featuring aromas of young kiwi, apricot, and white flowers, beautifully interwoven with sophisticated notes of slate, volcanic ash, and subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, taut, and textural, with a concentrated core of savory fruit cut by a vibrant, high acidity that creates tension and balance. The finish is exceptionally long, wonderfully fresh, and punctuated by a distinct saline-mineral flourish. This is a deeply captivating and age-worthy white that punches well above its class. While the 2024 vintage is the current release, the 2023 vintage, for example, unveiled fresh aromas of lemon zest and candied lime, elegant minerality, and hints of lanolin, with a smooth texture and vibrant acidity. 【Quintarelli's only white wine, a singular expression from the Veneto】.
