"Italy’s equivalent of Château Yquem, this incarnation of their famous 'Bandito' dessert wine celebrated its tenth birthday last year [in 2017] in Quintarelli’s cellar prior to release. If you want to give something truly special and one of a kind to a wine lover who has it all, look no further. 'Sono nato nel 2007. Sono cresciuto da bandito. E in 5 anni ho raggiunto l’infinito. 'I was born in 2007. I was raised a bandit. And in 5 years, I reached infinity.' These words are printed on the label of every bottle of the estate’s 'Bandito,' immortalizing the incredible history of the production of the rarest of all Quintarelli wines. During the Second World War, white wine was left aging in barrels that were hidden from the Axis. They were discovered years later, and the resulting wine was sublime. So is this one."
