The "Primofiore" Veneto IGT by Quintarelli is an emblematic label that reflects the passion and dedication of one of the most prestigious Italian wineries. This wine is the result of a masterful blend of Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with a small addition of Cabernet Franc grapes, which flourish in the hilly terrain of the Veneto region.
The winemaking follows traditional methods, respecting lunar cycles, with a long fermentation and aging in large wooden barrels that gives the wine a complex and intensely harmonious structure. The aging process continues in the bottle for a significant period before being released to the market, thus ensuring that Quintarelli's "Primofiore" develops a rich and lasting bouquet.
Visually, the "Primofiore" presents a deep ruby red color, immediately promising a pleasant and inviting olfactory experience. On the nose, complex notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices such as vanilla, and hints of chocolate emerge, enriched by a slight herbal streak that attests to the presence of Cabernet.
On the palate, the wine is elegant and well-balanced, with a soft but present tannin that leads to a long and pleasantly spiced finish. Its well-calibrated acidity and robust structure make it ideal for pairing with flavorful dishes, such as roasted red meats, game dishes, or aged cheeses.
Quintarelli's "Primofiore" is not just a wine, but a true sensory journey that celebrates the vinicultural excellence of Veneto, offering a memorable drink with every sip.
