Alzero 2001

Giuseppe Quintarelli's Alzero 2001 is a cult wine that embodies the unique craftsmanship of this legendary winemaker from the Veneto region. This exceptional vintage, made primarily from Cabernet Franc, captivates with its deep ruby red color and breathtaking bouquet. The nose reveals ripe aromas of black currants, dried cherries, dark chocolate, and plums, accompanied by notes of cedarwood, licorice, and sweet spices.
On the palate, the wine reveals incredible richness and structure, with the characteristic freshness of Quintarelli's style clearly evident. The tannins are velvety and perfectly integrated, while the elegant acidity provides balance. Complex aromas of dried fruit, coffee, and a hint of balsamic vinegar unfold over time, leading to a long, sensual finish. The Alzero 2001 is a wine of exceptional complexity and depth, impressive with its maturity and concentration, while also exhibiting enormous aging potential. A true masterpiece.
