Tintilia Lame del Sorbo di Vinica is produced with 100% Tintilia grapes, a red grape variety of ancient Spanish origins, probably introduced in Molise towards the end of the 18th century during the Bourbon occupation. The name Tintilia appears for the first time in a manuscript of the Agricultural Society of Campobasso in 1810. Only recently, thanks to a research on genetic biodiversity (University of Molise), it has been shown that Tintilia is a unique grape variety present only in this region. In the soils of the “Lame del Sorbo”, Tintilia has been cultivated for over 80 years. The vinification in purity and the refinement of two years are carried out in steel only to best express the freshness character of the grape; another two years in the bottle follow before being placed on the market.

TINTILIA LAME DEL SORBO VINICA: TASTING

Tintilia Lame del Sorbo di Vinica enters the glass with a ruby red colour with garnet reflections; on the nose, it expresses notes of fresh raspberries and sour cherries in alcohol, undergrowth and spices. In the mouth, it is elegant, fresh, precise, with soft tannins and hints of red fruits, licorice and mountain herbs. Try it in the company of smoked ham from Pietraroja del Sannio.
