Giuseppe Quintarelli

We are at the Giuseppe Quintarelli winery. Silvio Quintarelli founded the company at the turn of the 20th century. The first vineyards of this historic winery were located in Figàri in the municipality of Marano di Valpolicella. Even then its wines were popular overseas and indeed were exported to the United States in small oak casks and demijohns. In 1924, the company moved to the valley and its present location and it was here that Silvio and his family continued their business. The 1950s brought generational handover, with Giuseppe, the youngest son, now managing the winery. He is the heart and soul of Quintarelli wines.

Quintarelli wines: perfect for aging

He was the one who gave the winery its name, who wrote its history, ensuring the success of Amarone and making his wines famous in Italy and around the world. Giuseppe is the one who has developed the winery, leading it to grow and innovate. However, he has never lost sight of what has given it strength over the years, that is, the traditional method, allowing only a few bunches to fully ripen, respecting nature and its seasons, using exclusively natural materials for growing the vines, handling the grapes and the wine. The wines in the Quintarelli cellars have two characteristics in common: a natural disposition for ageing for at least 10 years in wooden barrels and in bottles, which improves the wine and its characteristics and a liveliness that continues after the bottle has been opened.

Its excellency comes from the amazing quality of the land where grapes are harvested, and from the constant improvements in the production process. Generally, this wine is made with Merlot grapes, which are transformed into wine in complete purity. When the situation allows for it, a small percentage of Cabernet Franc is also added.

The different production years, which are to be interpreted differently, are covered in mystery and carefully studied by a company enologist before being sold. Each Vega Sicilia Unico wine is aged in barrels for a long period of time - oftentimes several decades - before being refined into bottles.

Bodegas Vega Sicilia: among the best wine cellars in the world.

The history of this wine cellar begins in the mid 1800s, in Ribera del Duero, following the obstinacy of the Spanish-born enologist Don Eloy Lacanda y Chaves. Vega Sicilia is born between Valbuena and Quintanilla, an area in the central-northern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The word “vega”, which literally means “fertile plant” has ancient origins, and it is believed to refer to the spontaneous vegetations that grow along the left side of the Duero river.

The name “Sicilia”, instead, has nothing to do with the Italian region, but rather comes from “Cecilia”, who was once the owner of the hill where the vineyards grew. It is the same person to whom many centers in the area of Castilla y León are dedicated.

Vega Sicilia wines are not born by chance. They are the final product of special combinations, environmental factors, and accurate production methods. Today, the winery covers 1000 hectares, and strictly respects nature and all biological parameters.
