Quintarelli Primofiore 2020

The late, great Maestro del Veneto, Giuseppe Quintarelli, succeeded in establishing his mythical and legendary estate during an amazing sixty-year career. All of the tradition, love, heart, and soul of crafting one of the world’s finest wines continue at the Quintarelli home and winery in the hills north of Verona. The Primofioreis the exception to the rule at Quintarelli - aged for only two to three years—as opposed to seven—and only the Cabernet is partially dried, while the Corvina and Corvinone grapes are pressed directly after harvest. The resulting Primofiore, which translates to “first flower” because it is the youngest red wine released by the estate every year, is the freshest rosso of the bunch. A bouquet is brimming with zesty citrus, crushed raspberries, and peppery florals, finishing with a beautifully integrated acidity.
