Cantine Elvio Tintero
Tintero Rosso
Piedmont Italy

Great everyday Italian blend. A Kermit Lynch Wine import (very well respected importer!)

ABOUT THE WINE:
• GRAPES: 50% Barbera/40% Dolcetto/5% Nebbiolo/5% Cabernet Sauvingon
• TASTE:  Aromatics and flavors of black brambly fruit; cherries, blackberries, with a red cherry twang, and a hint of licorice. Generous and mouthwatering  on the palate with soft dusty tannin.
• Sustainably farmed, following ‘Lutte Raisonee’ France equivalent
• PAIRS WITH: Pasta dishes with meat sauces/tomato sauces,, grilled pork sausage and mushroom raviolo, pizzas, burgers and BBQ

ABOUT THE WINERY
• In 1900, French winemaker Pierre Tintero wandered down to Piedmont, and worked as hired hand for widow Rosina Cortesa before falling in love. The rest is history. Marco is 4th generation and current proprietor, along with his daughter in law Cinzia.
• Sustainably Farmed known as Lutte Raisonee (the reasoned fight!)
• Goal is to offer low intervention, delicious authentic wines to the world at a reasonable cost. They always drink higher than their price point
