50% Corvina and Corvinone, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc
Primofiore, meaning the “first flower,” is the youngest red wine to be released by the estate each year. The Cabernets are partially dried as is tradition in Valpolicella, while the other varieties are pressed after the freshly-picked clusters spend a brief time drying out a bit in large wooden boxes.
"The 2023 Primofiore is more savory than sweet, opening with dusty rose tones, a beguiling whiff of tangerine, wild strawberries and stone dust. It is round and energetic in style, perfumed with violet and lavender tones as ripe blackberry fruits swirl throughout. The finish is classically dry and long, yet remarkably fresh, leaving a subtle tannic crunch and a hint of wild blueberry to linger." - Eric Guido, VINOUS MEDIA
