    "Quintessa" Rutherford Napa Valley Red Wine 2019
  • It undoubtedly represents the true essence of Napa Valley in a glass. Quintessa, produced by the winery of the same name in the heart of the beautiful Californian wine region is, in fact, an authentic expression of its terroir. Napa Valley stretches for about 48 kilometres along the Napa River, offering a great variety of climatic conditions that make this area particularly suitable for grape growing. Tenuta Quintessa, in particular, is located on the west side of the Silverado Trail. Here the vineyards benefit from an ideal microclimate, characterised by warm, dry days and cool nights that allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing beautiful aromatic complexity and great tannic structure. Quintessa is defined as ‘a wine of precision’, the result of an expertly balanced blend of Bordeaux grapes. The main component is Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up 91% of the blend. With him, small percentages of Cabernet Franc (4%), Merlot (2%), Carménère (2%) and Petit Verdot (1%) are used to add complexity to the blend. The grapes, carefully selected during the harvest, are vinified in such a way as to preserve the varietal and territorial characteristics as much as possible. After fermentation, the wine matures for 22 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new. To the eye, Quintessa has an intense, dark ruby red colour. On the nose, there are fruity notes of blackcurrant, black cherry and redcurrant, accompanied by hints of spice and a slight hint of dried herbs. In the mouth, it is a symphony of flavours, with structured tannins that blend harmoniously with the intense minerality typical of this Californian terroir. A wine with an extraordinary capacity for ageing, although already enjoyable when young, it expresses itself at its best over the next twenty years, evolving and acquiring further complexity with the passage of time. On the table, it is perfect with roast meats and stews, rich and flavoursome dishes typical of star cuisine.

    Located in the heart of the renowned Napa Valley, Quintessa represents one of the spearheads of Californian winemaking. It was founded in 1990 by Agustin and Valeria Huneeus, a Chilean couple with long experience in the wine business. Agustin, in fact, came from a successful experience at the famous Chilean winery Concha y Toro. The Napa Valley, one of the most fascinating areas for wine production, stretches for about 48 kilometres along the Napa River. Characterised by a mild climate, with hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters, the soils are rich in volcanic minerals. Ideal conditions for growing grapes, particularly on the west side of the Silverado Trail, where the Quintessa estate is located. This is distinguished from other wineries in the region by its production philosophy that focuses exclusively on a single red wine, a blend of extraordinary refinement named after the winery itself, to which is added a white wine, again inspired by French ‘grandeur’. An approach that evidently pays off well, given that today Quintessa is one of the most appreciated American realities by critics and enthusiasts all over the world.
