About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the province of Verona. Tenuta Valleselle is a country villa set in the hills around Lake Garda, near Bardolino, surrounded by 12 hectares of vineyards and olive groves owned by Tinazzi.

Vinification

The Corvina Veronese grapes are lightly dried in the sun to concentrate flavours and aromas. Gentle pressing is followed by 10 days of maceration and fermentation at a controlled 22–26 °C, which preserves the grape's freshness and fruity character.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12–18 months in French and American oak barrels, which give it a velvety texture, complexity and refined oak notes.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with a velvety texture, complexity, refined oak notes and preserved fresh, fruity character.

Label / history

The Tinazzi family bought the Tenuta Valleselle estate in 1986 and restored it. It now receives visitors, who can taste wines from the cellar, explore the vineyards and hold celebrations there.
