After 60 years in wine, Giuseppe died in 2012, and the estate continues under his daughter Fiorenza, son-in-law Giampaolo, and grandchildren Francesco and Lorenzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/giuseppe-quintarelli-the-master-of-valpolicella\"\u003eGiuseppe Quintarelli producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"quintarelli-rosso-del-bepi-natural-wine","title":"Quintarelli Rosso del Bepi 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Quintarelli Rosso del Bepi is a red wine from the Veneto region in northeastern Italy. The vineyards are situated in the Valpolicella area, characterized by rolling hills and a mild climate, with soils rich in limestone and clay, ideal for cultivating indigenous grape varieties. This wine is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and other local grapes. In exceptional vintages, Quintarelli produces Amarone; however, in years deemed less than perfect, the Amarone is declassified and bottled as Rosso del Bepi. The winemaking process involves the traditional appassimento, where grapes are partially dried to concentrate flavors. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, followed by extended aging in large Slavonian oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop complexity and depth. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giuseppe Quintarelli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49583040397528,"sku":"QUINTARELLI-ROSSODELBEPI","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/quintarelli-rosso-del-bepi-natural-wine-deslop.png?v=1784586249"},{"product_id":"quintarelli-rosso-ca-del-merlo","title":"Quintarelli Rosso Ca' del Merlo 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuintarelli Rosso Ca' del Merlo 2018 is a Veneto IGT red wine produced by Giuseppe Quintarelli from a single vineyard in the hills of Negrar, Valpolicella Classico.
