2020 Primofiore

The new vintages of Quintarelli continue to move in a direction that is decidedly focused on purity and restraint. Giuseppe Quintarelli seemed able to impart each of his wines with something magical that could not be scientifically defined. After his passing and the passing of his enologist, Roberto Ferrarini, the family was tasked with the challenge of trying to understand how to continue their family’s legacy while modernizing their techniques. These careful changes began with the 2009 vintage, which included a reduction in oxidation, better control over the use of sulfites and lowering the average percentage of alcohol in the wines. While the new Quintarelli wines are undoubtedly different from what was made here before, the level of quality continues to impress.
