Lot 189 Details
GUISEPPE QUINTARELLI ROSSO DEL BEPI VENETO 2005

Veneto.
9 x scuffed labels

The 2005 Rosso del Bepi is made with the same blend of grapes found in the Valpolicella Superiore. Only in the case of this wine, the entire mass of fruit sees a four-month appassimento cycle. The wine is aged in large oak casks for eight years. A severe hail storm in 2005 reduced yields. The fruit was good in that vintage, but not good enough to become Amarone. All that potential got locked into this wine instead. Despite its age, the Rosso del Bepi offers surprising freshness and crispness with delineated tones of dried cherry and pressed rose. This wine has more decades of cellar aging locked within. May 2017 Only 205 cases produced. WA 95

10 bts.    per lot $1,400 - $1,800

Realised: $2,040
