A couple living in Vancouver built their wine collection over the pandemic, taking advantage of the time available for research and the enjoyment of wine. During their travels before the pandemic, they had discovered producers and styles that intrigued them—collecting wine from the places they had visited or finding bottles they had enjoyed along the way became a way to break the monotony of quarantine. A relationship was established with Morrell Wine, specifically with their representative from the importer, who played a significant role in helping them refine their vision for the ideal collection. Most of their bottles were stored at Morrell’s cellar prior to their move to Canada, though they kept a few cases in a carefully maintained cellar in their Austin high-rise. To ensure the collection’s safe transport, they worked with the expert team at Xpeditr, coordinating its secure transfer from Morrell and Austin to a new cellar in Vancouver in 2022, where the bottles have remained since import. They now hope these bottles will find a home with someone who truly appreciates wine and the shared moments it fosters, whether they are new to collecting or seasoned enthusiasts.
Producer notes - Giuseppe Quintarelli is an Italian wine estate located in the hills north of Verona in the heart of the Valpolicella appellation. It is regarded by many as the greatest of all Amarone producers, and is known for its traditional deep, complex wines packaged with distinctive handwritten labels. Giuseppe Quintarelli was a humble man known as "Bepi," but the wines he produced earned him the title of "Maestro of Amarone" and a legacy as one of the most legendary winemakers of Italy. The grapes for this wine go through the appassimento process in which they are dried on rush mats prior to fermentation and pressing.
