Intensity pours from the glass in Giuseppe Quintarelli’s 2015 Alzero Cabernet, a lavish, textural red that layers saturated black fruit with savory herb tones, stony depth and a flicker of blood orange brightness. The palate feels plush yet driven by vivid acidity, packing in dark berries, subtle sweet spice and floral top notes, all wrapped in fine, dusty tannins that promise long development in bottle.

Alzero Cabernet is Giuseppe Quintarelli’s cult Cabernet-based red from the hills of Valpolicella, a rich, Amarone-influenced blend (typically Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot) made from carefully dried grapes and then aged for many years in oak. Intensely powerful yet remarkably refined, it marries velvety dark fruit, spice and dried-fruit sweetness with the savoury, herbal Cabernet profile, offering extraordinary depth, length and longevity that has made it one of the most coveted and distinctive reds in the Veneto.
