As conceived by the master of the Veneto, Giuseppe Quintarelli (1927-2012), and now carried on by his family, the wines that form his canon are provocative, stimulating and legendary. Primofiore is an assemblage of early picked grapes that finish ripening in boxes, as well as the pressings of partially-dried Cabernet to bolster its depth and complexity. Seriously terrific.
