Producer Information

Tinazzi is an Italian wine producer located by Lake Garda in Puglia, but produces wine from both the Veneto and Puglia wine regions, at opposite ends of Italy with cellars located in both. Established in 1968, the family-owned company has grown an extensive and large portfolio of wine, encompassing many grape varieties and wine styles. The Tinazzi wine portfolio is divded into mulitple collections. The Feudo Croce line includes the company's flagship wine, the Primitivo Imperio LXXIV, which is an acknowledgment to the year in which the Primitivo di Manduria DOC was established. Sourced from the family vineyards in Carosino, it spends 8-12 months in French oak prior to release. The wine is consistently met to high acclaim from critics and consumers. The Tinazzi Generation line is a trio of premium-quality wines, sourced from the best vineyards within the company's holdings. From Veneto, the Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore and from Puglia the Primitivo di Manduria are all named after founding members of the company from the Tinazzi family. In 2015, Tinazzi expanded further by establishing a winery in the Sant'Ambrogio Di Valpolicella for the production of appassimento red wines, according to the IGP Passito denomination. Primitivo, Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes are blended to together to produce a full-bodied dry Passito wine.
