93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$80 list] 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. Drink: 2024-2030. (12/5/24)" Priofiore (the “first flower”) is the youngest red wine released by the estate every year. Cabernet is partially dried, all other grapes are freshly pressed. After harvest, grapes are then left in wooden boxes to continue ripening. After pressing and fermentation, wine is aged for several years in Slavonian oak barrels. Primofior 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.
