Tuffo Pinot Grigio

The Tuffo Pinot Grigio vineyards are situated in the Veneto region in the provinces of Verona and Treviso. Juice is left on the lees for up to 2 weeks before undergoing a light filtration to retain its natural attributes. This pleasant and delicate Pinot Grigio is fermented in oak barrels and finished in stainless steel tanks.

Tuffo Amarone

The Amarone vineyards are located on the hillside of Valpantena in North Eastern Valpolicella where the grapes are harvested by hand. Tuffo Amarone is made using the Passito method where the grapes are partially dried on straw mats in order to concentrate the grapes’ flavors and sweetness prior to vinification. At the end of January, the grapes are pressed and left to ferment for 25-30 days. After the final press, the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks where malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is aged for 18-20 months in small French oak barrels before going into the bottle. Once in the bottle, the wine ages for another 3-4 months.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby-red
Bouquet: Vibrant fragrances of currant, blackberries and sweet almonds. Warm and rich, with subtle hints of vanilla.
Palate: A full-bodied wine with silky tannins and a long, lingering finish.
Pairing: Excellent with grilled meats, stews and rich cheeses.

Tuffo Soave

The Tuffo Soave vineyards are situated in the North Eastern section of Verona where the soil is volcanic. The soil is made of decomposed volcanic rock that produces beautifully crisp wines.

Tasting Notes

Bouquet: Delicate aromas of lemon and citrus fruits followed by almond which is typical for these varietals.
