Tintoretto

Tintoretto

Sangiovese

This 93 point wine recently earned a Gold medal at the 2021 Winemakers Challenge, and was declared "Best in Show" at the 2021 USA Wine Ratings. A modern take on an Old World classic, our fruit-forward Tintoretto Sangiovese is made in a plush, easy-drinking style. Juicy fruit on the mid-palate is complemented by balanced acidity and dusty tannins. Nestled between the coastlines of the Adriatic and Ionian seas, the Puglia region forms the heel of Italy's boot. Dubbed Italy's New World wine region, vineyards planted here enjoy cool breezes coming off the water that help moderate the typically warm and sunny daytime temperatures. Because this area is relatively flat, it is considered an ideal agricultural landscape and is well known for olive oil in addition to its beautiful wines. Just one sip is all it takes to discover why Puglia is quickly becoming a prominent source of high-value win ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of Puglia IGT

Puglia IGT

The heel of Italy's ""boot,"" sunny Puglia (the ""g"" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

TASTING NOTES:

Cherry

Plum

Violet

"How do the Italians manage to produce such fresh, delicious wines such as this from notably warm regions? Careful growing and judicious early harvesting, resulting in a wine that is ripe up front but delightfully tangy in the finish." –M. Franz, 2021 Critics Challenge Int'l W&SCompetition

ABOUT THE BRAND:

large bunches of red grapes on the vine

Tintoretto

The Renaissance gave birth to a treasure trove of ideas and idols, two of which serve as the inspiration behind Tintoretto. The radiant, golden pig on our label symbolizes the daily luxuries awakened by the Renaissance. Pigs have been used for hunting truffles since the Romans, but it wasn't until Italian Renaissance writer Bartolomeo Plantina documented this practice that the idea came to life. For our name, we look to Venice-born painter Jacopo Tintoretto. Inspired by the Italian greats Michelangelo and Titian, Tintoretto used his bold colors and dramatic gestures to tell the story of Italy's past and present. Each bottle of Tintoretto strives to do the same. By using classic Italian varietals and blends, these wines share a taste of Italy's rich history, one of art, science, tradition and rebirth.
