The Story
A rare sweet white from the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli, a 1990 dessert wine in a half-bottle, the kind of bottling that almost never surfaces. Like all of Quintarelli's wines, it is made in the old, patient Valpolicella way, from grapes dried (passito) to concentrate their sugars before a long, slow aging. A passito bianco of this age from this iconic cantina is a genuine collector's curiosity, fully mature and built to have held beautifully in its smaller format. Provenance matters with a bottle this old and this rare. A treasure for the end of a memorable meal.
