Quintarelli?s 2008 Valpolicella shows the mid-weight gracious style of this cool year. Sweet tobacco dark cherry herbs and mocha are all given an extra kick of acidity. About half of the fruit was air-dried for two months. The estate?s decision to release a wine with a good bit of age gives consumers a terrific opportunity to purchase a current release that also offers a good bit of aromatic and flavor complexity. I imagine the wine?s lively acidity will allow it to hold for a number of years although I do not expect the wine will improve materially. - By Antonio Galloni on September 2016
