Tasting notes
50% Corvina Veronese and Corvinone, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Pale ruby. Cool cherry and hints of warm stones. Elegant cherry fruit with finely crushed tannins lining the fruit on the finish. Perhaps a tad too subtle for its formidable price (over €50 a bottle)? (WS)

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.
