Quintarelli Primofiore 2017 750ml

‘Primofiore’ is a dry and structured red blend marked by earthy flavors of jammy red cherries, violets, and baking spices. Gritty tannins and ample acidity lead to a lasting, palate-coating finish. Pair this wine with game, pizza, and all roasted meats.

Giuseppe Quintarelli is a legendary estate located in the hills north of Verona in the heart of the Valpolicella appellation. It is regarded by many as the greatest of all Amarone producers, and is known for its traditional deep, complex wines packaged with distinctive handwritten labels. The great man Quintarelli himself, known as il Maestro del Veneto, died in 2012 aged 84 but the winery remains family-owned and managed.

Indicative blend: Corvina, Corvinone, Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc
