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. (EG)

The "First Flower." If you want the Quintarelli magic without waiting a decade or spending hundreds of dollars, this is your ticket. A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Cabernet, and Franc, this is the freshest and most immediate wine in the lineup, seeing only a brief period of drying for the Cabernet grapes. It doesn't have the heavy brooding weight of the Amarone or Valpolicella; instead, it jumps out of the glass with high-toned, crunchy red fruit. Every year this is my favorite wine out of my home region.

Notes

The 2023 Giuseppe Quintarelli "Primofiore" is the estate's youngest red, serving as a vibrant, accessible introduction to their legendary artisanal style. While most Quintarelli reds age for nearly a decade, the "First Flower" is released early to showcase freshness. The nose is exceptionally floral and energetic, bursting with violets, lavender, and wild strawberries alongside a savory whiff of tangerine and stone dust. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and "crunchy," balancing ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit with a subtle tannic grip and a remarkably fresh, saline finish.
