A great classic of Verona viticulture. This red wine is produced with pure Corvina grapes from the hilly vineyards of Valpolicella, located between 120 and 300 metres above sea level. A pleasantly simple wine suitable for a thousand occasions, the result of careful vinification of the grapes that are left to macerate at a controlled temperature for about two weeks. This is what the skins need to give the wine all its colour and most pleasant aromatic substances. For the ageing phase, Tinazzi uses French and American oak barrels of various sizes. They range from the smallest 5-hectolitre barrels to large 20-hectolitre barrels. In total, the wine rests in wood for just under a year. Intense and bright red colour, the nose reveals notes of ripe red fruit, with a prevalence of cherry, then hints of spice and a slight hint of cocoa. In the mouth it is just as fruity, with additional notes of liquorice. A long and persistent finish.
"Nomen omen," said the ancient Romans. And this saying applies perfectly to the Tinazzi family since, in the Veronese tradition, this term was used to indicate the containers in which the grapes were left to ferment in order to make wine. The history of this fine family business begins in the 1960s. We are on the shores of Lake Garda. Here, in Cavaion Veronese to be precise, Eugenio Tinazzi founded his small winery to produce and sell the wines of the area. With the arrival of his still young son Gian Andrea in the company, Tinazzi began a tumultuous path of growth that led the small Veneto-based company to expand in the main areas of Valpolicella first of all, and then to take the leap and buy new estates in Puglia. Today, Francesca and Giorgio, the third generation, have joined Gian Andrea in the family business. There are still many goals to be achieved and markets to be conquered.
