Giuseppe Quintarelli, also known as “El Bepi”, has been the undisputed master of Valpolicella and contributed to the success not only of these wines, but also of the entire Italian enology in the world. The history of the winery began at the turn of the 20th century when Silvio Quintarelli and his family started planting vines on this hilly region, among vineyards, olive groves and Venetian villas, producing wines that immediately became popular in the United States. In the 1950s, Giuseppe took over from his father and, with the passion and patience typical of a small producer, he developed over the decades a method of constant improvement ensuring the international success of his legendary Amarone. This wine is a jewel only produced in exceptional vintages, while in other vintages the “Rosso del Bepi” is produced with the same method. His daughter, Fiorenza Quintarelli, has been managing the company for a few years now, with her husband Giampaolo and their sons Francesco and Lorenzo. Together they continue a tradition that has firmly placed these bottles at the top of wine rankings around the world. This prestige is almost in contrasts with the handwritten labels, in the style of those found in a countryside tavern, which express a profound simplicity, yet a stamp of authentic class.
