Tezza

The agricultural company Tezza was founded in 1960. The winery's original building from the 1960s was renovated in 1998, and the estate has been run since 1998 by cousins Federico, Flavio, and Vanio Tezza, who represent the third generation of winemakers in the Tezza family.

The vineyards are situated a few hundred meters from the winery. Tezza operates a temperature- and humidity-controlled drying room for grapes intended for Amarone and Recioto. Fermentation takes place in large steel tanks equipped with automatic temperature control, and the cellar also houses historic concrete tanks that maintain a constant temperature throughout the year. The winery uses délestage to gently extract polyphenols from the skins by pumping must over the grape pomace cap, and French oak and Slavonian 750-litre casks and 225-litre French oak barriques are used for aging.
