Cellar for up to 7 years. No need to decant before serving. The Tinazzi family have been winemakers for generations and in 1968 they founded Cantina Tinazzi in Cavaion Veronese in Verona. Shortly afterwards, in 1984, they first began to export their wines abroad and in 1986 the family bought their Tenuta Valleselle estate in Bardolino. More recently, they have continued to expand their winemaking operations across Italy by acquiring the Feudo Croce estate in Puglia as well as Poderi Campopian in Sant'Ambrogio Di Valpolicella. Ca de Rocchi is their line of Valpolicella wines made with plenty of rich ripe fruit and a smooth texture and tannins. This is their Montere which is made in a traditional Ripasso style with Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes from several hilly vineyards at 150-300 metres above sea level. Once in the winery the grapes are carefully crushed and destemmed before being vinified in stainless steel tanks. Over the winter the wine is fermented a second time or “repassed” over the skins already used for Amarone wines. The final stage is maturation in 5-20 hectolitre French and American oak casks for 12 months, creating a luscious, full bodied wine which is bursting with cassis, red cherry, and ripe plum notes. On the palate there are plenty of soft tannins, a smooth texture and a very long finish.
