Region: Veneto, Italy

Varietal: Blend of 50% Corvina and Corvinone, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes: The traditional blending formula for this wine sees indigenous grapes (Corvina and Corvinone) face off with French grapes (Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc) in equal parts. The Quintarelli Giuseppe 2019 Primofiore is a terrific entry-level option from a vintage that promises extra fruit weight and richness. The wine opens to dark fruit aromas, with dried blackberry and plum. These various varietal components taste ripe, supple and accessible. The wine comes together with easy balance.
