96pts ‑Sprigione wine gives the nose an intense sensation of cherries that never ends, a succession of plum, blackberries, sour cherries and black cherries with tertiary hints of wood toasting, tobacco, vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate it is warm, soft and well structured in the body, intense and persistent with balance in all its parts.
70% Montepulciano, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot
The Il Crinale Sprigione wines of Quintarelli are more a celebration of a region and its history and techniques than of specific grape varieties or terroirs. They are really more about the art of the blend, the patience of extended aging in cask and bottle, and the use of appassimento and ripasso techniques to further enhance complexity and age-worthiness.
That’s why Il Crinale Sprigione as a single-vineyard expression is a bit of an anomaly. Rather than being a single-vineyard wine, it is the opportunity for the Quintarellis to have a little more freedom with the blend outside of the school of Valpolicella.
Always more primary than the Valpolicella, it showcases dark, palate-staining fruit that one must marvel at, given the wine’s age.
