Giuseppe Quintarelli 'Alzero' Cabernet 2013

Alzero stands as one of the rarest treasures from Quintarelli, rivaling his legendary Amarones and earning its place among Italy's finest wines. Crafted with meticulous precision, Alzero follows a process nearly identical to that of the Amarones, embracing the 100% appassimento method. After the grapes are harvested, they undergo a patient drying period until mid-December before being crushed and fermented in Quintarelli's signature style.

The wine is aged with the same reverence as the Amarones, spending time in both French oak and large Slavonian oak casks, imbuing it with unparalleled depth and complexity. Yet, Alzero distinguishes itself with its composition: 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Merlot.
