ORGANIC WINES BY TINAZZI
The Tinazzi Bio (#ITALIANOBIO) range features wines from the Veneto and Puglia, made entirely under organic practices and using organic grapes.
The fruit is grown in the Veneto and
Puglia vineyards owned by Tinazzi and its Puglian daughter winery, Cantine
San Giorgio, in Salento.
The labels of the organic wines feature designs linked to the natural world - birds for the Veneto and butterflies for Puglia - emphasising Tinazzi’s love of biodiversity. The packaging follows the same sustainability principles, through the use of a lightweight glass bottle and of a stelvin (screwcap) closure which is easy to open and eliminates the use of cork or agglomerates.
For the Bio Veneto line, Tinazzi has used bird names in the Veneto dialect and a very colourful graphic design - with a green background that takes the consumer back to an unspoiled natural world, and with colourful images of the featured birds.
Cercerò - Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOP
The top wine in the Bio Veneto line. Cercerò is the local dialect name for the winter wren or sparrow. The grapes, 100% Pinot Grigio aged in stainless steel, come from sun-drenched hillside vineyards in the province of Verona.
The wine is pale straw yellow with an ample bouquet of orchard fruits with light floral notes. Fresh in the mouth with good tanginess and a long finish. Excellent with fish and seafood dishes.
Prìne - Primitivo Puglia IGP
For the labels of the Puglian organic wines, Tinazzi has chosen butterflies, which are a symbol of lightness and purity. The grapes, 100% Primitivo Puglia, come from vineyards in the provinces of Taranto and Brindisi and are harvested when perfectly ripe. They are then crushed and destemmed, macerated and fermented at 22-26°C for 8-10 days. A subsequent soft pressing precedes maturation in stainless steel tanks.
Deep red in colour, this wine has intense aromas of ripe plums and dried apple peel. An attractive, approachable wine, with a remarkable structure and long finish.
A perfect companion to red and white meats.
