The Tezza family has been producing wines in the Valpantena and Valpolicella regions for three generations. The winery was established in 1960 and isnow operated by three cousins, Flavio, Vanio, and Federico. Each of their wines are produced from estate grown fruit and vinified in a traditional style specific to Valpolicella. The Ma Roatis macerated, fermented and aged in steel vats, then refermented on amarone must, which adds richness and power. Its a lovely
ruby red
color with aromas of
violets
,
raspberries
and
blackberries
with
chocolate
,
peppery spice
and
licorice
on the palate. This is a great introduction to the classic wines of Valpolicella.
