The Giuseppe Quintarelli Primofiore 2023 is a vibrant red blend from the Veneto, produced by the acclaimed Quintarelli estate. This wine is crafted in a lighter, fresher style than the Amarone, utilising a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, yet it still showcases the estate`s commitment to profound depth and meticulous quality. The wine is ruby-hued and offers an aromatic profile of bright cherry, subtle baking spices and fresh herbs, supported by a silky texture and a clean, savoury finish.

Quintarelli Giuseppe
The Godfather of Veneto
The Quintarelli estate in the northern Veronese village of Negrar dates back to 1924 and was founded by Bepe’s father, Silvio. Bepe himself took over in the 1950s, orchestrating a quality revolution through his meticulous work in the vineyard and his uncompromising practices in the cellar. The result was wines of such hedonistic deliciousness that they became some of the most sought-after in Italy; those made before Bepe’s death in 2012 especially so.At the still family-run estate, Bepe’s legacy continues through his daughter, Fiorenza, along with her husband, Giampaolo, and their children. The core range of wines are those made in the appassimiento style (ie, with partially sun-dried grapes): the Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone, Rosso del Bepi (essentially an Amarone, but released instead of the Amarone in ‘lesser’ vintages) and Recioto. The Amarone, only released in exceptional years, is matured for fully seven years in old Slavonian oak before release. An Amarone Riserva sees 10 years.
