The Story
Among the rarest wines Giuseppe Quintarelli ever made, with a legend to match. The name 'Bandito' nods to a wartime story of white wine hidden from occupying forces and found years later, aged beautifully, and Quintarelli 'banishes' this sweet white for a decade or more before release. Made from dried Garganega and other native grapes, this 1986 is a deeply mature back-vintage. Roughly four decades on, expect amber color and a wild, layered bouquet of dried tropical fruit, honey, candied citrus, and spice. A genuine unicorn. Drink now. Provenance from a private cellar.
