Tinazzi in Veneto
The Tinazzi business was founded during the 60s in Cavaion - Verona - Italy by Eugenio Tinazzi and is now carried on by the third generation of a family which has always had a deep passion for wine and grapes.
The company has made great progress during these years on its own merits, always choosing the longest but safest route and avoiding any enticing short cuts. The business started as a small but ambitious company.
From the beginning the founder's son, Gian Andrea Tinazzi, demonstrated his honesty, skill and passion, virtues inherited from his father, and which according to him, must always come before any others.
Little by little he created the existing business, based on respect and honesty, a sort of divine commandment, with its five important companies: "Casa Vinicola Tinazzi", "Tenuta Valleselle", "Ca' Isidora" in Veneto, "Feudo di Santa Croce" in Apulia and "Vignali Roccamora" in Sicily.
Now the companies are directed and led on the international market by Gian Andrea Tinazzi owner, Giorgio Tinazzi, Gian Andrea's son - Sales Manager, Francesca Tinazzi, Gian Andrea's doughter in charge of the Business Controll, Giuseppe Gallo - Responsible of the production and Franco Micheletti head of Administration.
