The modern history of this exceptional estate dates back to 1924, but its contemporary success is largely due to the work of Giuseppe Quintarelli who fought to follow traditional methods of winemaking while his neighbours converted to mass production techniques. His dedication to quality and attention to detail has given Quintarelli a global reputation for complex Amarone wines which are aged extensively in Slavonian oak casks.
Great care is taken in the vineyards with several passes made through the vines to ensure the fruit is harvested at optimum maturity. Their traditional-style Valpolicella wines are crafted using techniques like appassimento, a method which dries out the grapes on straw mats to concentrate the flavours in the finished wine.
Quintarelli’s classic Amarone is made in an opulent style and is only produced during the finest vintages. Widely regarded as setting the benchmark for the Amarone style, this robust red is aged in Slavonian oak casks for seven years. The result is a lusciously concentrated flavour profile with a generous full body, smooth tannins and firm structure which will respond well to further cellaring. The bold dark fruit flavours make this a great choice to drink now with hearty red meat dishes or to hold for several decades.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
