2024 Quintarelli Giuseppe, Veneto Rosso, Primofiore

The Quintarelli Giuseppe estate is located in the hills of Negrar, where three generations of the family have maintained a legacy of meticulous viticulture since the late Giuseppe Quintarelli established the winery’s reputation over a sixty-year career. The Primofiore is made from a blend of Corvina and Corvinone alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, all sourced from calcareous and basaltic soils with vines averaging 30 years of age. This wine offers an approachable profile with notes of red berries, dried flowers, and a distinct mineral backbone, balanced by a texture that is both fresh and energetic. The 2024 vintage provided the conditions necessary to produce this lively, vibrant expression, which serves as a more immediate release than the estate’s long-aged Amarone bottlings. With its graceful structure and clear regional character, this is an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy the estate’s style without the need for extended cellar time.
