The vines are planted on well-exposed slopes with calcareous and basaltic soils, which promote a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The plots are located around the hamlet of Negrar and the neighboring valleys, benefiting from a temperate climate influenced by Lake Garda and the Pre-Alpine mountains, offering temperature variations conducive to the wine's aromatic expression and natural balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the Giuseppe Quintarelli estate, the grapes intended for Valpolicella Classico Superiore are harvested manually, with a rigorous selection in the vineyard. A portion of the harvest is vinified fresh, while another is slightly dried before pressing. Fermentation proceeds slowly in vats, with long macerations. The wine is then aged for a long time in large Slavonian oak barrels, where it patiently refines, gaining aromatic complexity and texture, before being bottled at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eripe plum\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ecandied red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches, nuances of \u003cstrong\u003esweet spices\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as subtle \u003cstrong\u003ewoody\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etobacco\u003c\/strong\u003e accents.
