James Suckling

Reviewed May 2024
Restrained black cherries, elegant spices, incense and eucalyptus leaves. The attack is soft and refined with a full body, velvety tannins and zesty yet integrated acidity. Long and intense flavors of cherries and spices. Toasty finish. Drink or hold. (AF)

Vinous

Review Date: 12/2023
There will be no Amarone in 2016; instead, we’re treated to a new vintage of Rosso del Bepi. This is dark and brooding in the glass, youthfully coy, with a bouquet of dried roses and violets. Complicating whiffs of incense give way to cherry sauce and dark chocolate. It's rich and complex yet also remarkably energetic, with a tactile mineral core that enhances its tart red berry fruits while hints of sour orange add a cheek-puckering sourness toward the close. The 2016 finishes with medium length and a chalky sensation, tapering off with suggestions of licorice and tangerine. This sexy and energetic Rosso del Bepi will win a lot of hearts. (EG)

Notes

The 2016 Rosso del Bepi reflects a deliberate choice at Quintarelli: the family released this wine in place of an Amarone. The estate’s importer describes Bepi’s production around appassimento, drying the harvested grapes before fermentation, followed by extended maturation in Slavonian oak. It is an expression of the family’s selection in this vintage. Vinous and James Suckling both emphasize richness balanced by energy in their assessments of the 2016. Dried flowers, dark cherry and spice accompany a broad palate; acidity and refined tannins keep the texture defined. Their descriptions present a substantial wine whose appeal rests on proportion as much as concentration.
