Description
'Primofiore' means 'first flower,' which refers to this being the first wine released each vintage. It blends the local Corvina and Corvinone grapes with partially dried Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc and is aged in Slavonian oak barrels.

Tasting Notes
Primofiore ('first flower') is sourced from vines that are over 30 years of age and is the first wine from any given vintage released by Quintarelli. This blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc is the only red Quintarelli wine that isn't crafted using the ripasso method. Expect a complex, layered wine with impressive fruit and spice notes.
