Quintarelli Rosso a del Merlo 8 Vintage Vertical Tasting, Saturday June 30th, 2012 5p-8p
On Saturday June 30th from 5- 8pm we welcomed Matt Rosenberg of Avant Partir for a vertical tasting of Quintarelli Rosso Cà del Merlo with charcuterie from The Spotted Trotter.
Cà del Merlo is a single vineyard Valpolicella named after a plot of land where a large Merlo (bird) sat perched on a tree overlooking the hillside. It differs from the Valpolicella in that the grapes come from one specific site and thus the terroir and its influence on the wine are unique. It also tends to display more Ripasso chateristics on the nose and palate than the regular Valpolicella.
Varietals in this wine: Corvina, Rondinella, Malinara, Croatina, Negrar, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Perla, and Nebbiolo.
We will taste through the following vintages.
