L'Arco 'Rubeo' Veronese Rosso 2018
The Wine
The 2018 vintage is a blend of 40% Franc, 30% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, and 15% Molinara. These wines share the charm and soul as the Quintarelli offerings where Frederico trained, and they deserve the same careful attention. For the best experience, open them at least eight hours before tasting. This vintage brims with energy, vibrancy, and rich fruit, yet remains a serious wine that will reward those who wait.
94 Pts Eric Guido, Vinous 'The 2018 Rubeo is a savory beast, with a burst of smoke and crushed rocks giving way to white pepper-tinged black cherries and wild herbs. It sweeps across the palate with silky textures and polished wild berry fruits, propelled by zesty acidity as salty mineral tones saturate toward the close. It finishes saline and youthfully tannic yet still quite fresh, leaving rosy inner florals and a chalky sensation that lingers on and on. The 2018 is gorgeous yet demands cellaring to come fully into balance.’ Dec 2023

About the Wine Maker 
The Estate takes its name from a stone arch, called “Arco di Giove”, located on the road to Negrar (one of the seven historic Valpolicella communes) and near the farmhouse where the owners, the Fedrigo family are located. The arch, dating from 1500/1600, was one of a series of seven arches along the hillside path near S. Vito di Negrar.
