A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
Producer notes - One of the titans of the wine world and the undisputed Maestro of the Veneto, Giuseppe Quintarelli is responsible for crafting some of the greatest wines the world has known, period. While he is revered for his Amarones and his Alzero Cabernet Franc, he also built a superlative set of single-vineyard rossos from his estate vineyards. The Ca' del Merlo is a blend comprised mostly of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, with 15% of the blend comprised of a mix of Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon and some Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Sangiovese as well. This beautiful library vintage example shows just why the man is so revered, and just what his wines could achieve during the time when he was operating at the peak of his wisdom and skills.
