Description
What type of wine it is
Giuseppe Quintarelli's Bianco Secco is a still white wine with a Veneto Typical Geographical Indication (IGT) born from a blend of Chardonnay, Garganega, Sauvignon and Trebbiano grapes. In the glass, it presents a straw-yellow colour enlivened by golden highlights, revealing delicate aromas of ripe fruit, with clear notes of apricot and yellow-fleshed peach. On the palate, it is fresh, well-balanced and supported by a fair acidity, offering a long aromatic persistence. Its production involves an exceptional and slow ageing in large wooden barrels, a rare technique for this type of wine, which gives the sip elegance and stability over time.
Where it comes from
This Venetian oenological expression comes to life in the historic terroir of the Negrar hills, in the heart of Valpolicella. The vineyards of the Giuseppe Quintarelli winery are rooted at an altitude of approximately 350 metres above sea level, surrounded by an authentic rural landscape. This hillside position allows for the harvesting of ripe grapes while maintaining an acidity that is never aggressive. These microclimatic and territorial conditions are fundamental for shaping a white wine with a distinct personality, in which the balanced acidity and complex structure faithfully reflect the authenticity and vocation of the area of origin.
How it is produced
The production process of Bianco Secco is distinguished by artisanal dedication and extraordinary patience. After the harvest and fermentation, the wine undergoes an exceptionally long maturation of eight years, taking place slowly within large wooden barrels. This rare and meticulous ageing allows the blend to evolve, developing incredible stability and remarkable aromatic complexity. Subsequently, the wine completes its ageing by resting for a further period in the bottle before being ready for tasting, proving to be an excellent companion for pasta courses, lean fish recipes or refined cheese selections.
History and curiosities
Quintarelli Bianco Secco embodies the dedication of a historic winery, founded by the Quintarelli family and in continuous operation since 1900.

This distinguished winery faithfully follows rigorous practices handed down since the beginning of the last century.
