Giuseppe Quintarelli Description
The “first flower” is the youngest red wine released by the estate every year.
The Cabernet is partially dried, all other grapes are freshly pressed. After harvest, grapes left in wooden boxes to continue ripening. After pressing and fermentation, wine is aged for several years in Slavonian oak barrels.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2023 Primofiore is more savory than sweet, opening with dusty rose tones, a beguiling whiff of tangerine, wild strawberries and stone dust. It is round and energetic in style, perfumed with violet and lavender tones as ripe blackberry fruits swirl throughout. The finish is classically dry and long, yet remarkably fresh, leaving a subtle tannic crunch and a hint of wild blueberry to linger.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The Quintarelli Giuseppe 2022 Primofiore is a blend of 50% local grapes (Corvina Veronese and Corvinone) and 50% international grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) with fruit that has been pressed fresh and some that undergoes appassimento. However, the style of the wine is slowly moving toward a fresher and drier style, with extra measures taken to avoid residual sugar and volatile acidity. The wine is expressed with floral and herbal elements over a medium-lean texture. There are earthy sensations with iris root and dark currant that give the Primofiore an especially food-friendly personality.
