Immersed in the winemaking traditions of the Valpantena and Valpolicella areas of Veneto, the Tezza family has been dedicated to working in wine for three generations. Grandparents Giovanni and Virginia launched the family vineyard operation in 1960, and their children, Paolo, Giuseppe, and Renzo carried the family into winemaking. From 1998 on, the Tezza winery has been owned and operated by cousins Flavio, Vanio, and Federico. The Tezza vineyards extend about 70 acres in Valpantena, through the townlands of Poiano, Nesente and Sezano. A replanting program began in 1998 and the vineyards now adhere to the strictest organic farming protocols. Drying out the grapes is a vital step in making Amarone. In the past, special grape-drying halls were built in precise positions where the humidity and temperature conditions were optimal. Today, thanks to modern technology, every aspect of the drying process can be controlled. The Tezza winery boasts a new drying hall with controlled temperature and humidity levels that ensure ideal conditions for drying the grapes destined for use in Amarone wines.  With the whole production chain onsite, the Tezza winery is unique in its authenticity and transparency. Nothing is sourced externally, so the family can always guarantee the quality of the wines.
