Winemaker Notes
TIAMO, which simply means "I love you" in Italian, is a line of two varietal blends that represent top quality wines from the best growers in their respective regions- Puglia (Italy's heel) & Veneto (Venice region). Owner Mel Master was always excited by the potential of the wines of Southern Italy and eventually went there to put together his own blend. He met an American wine maker who lives in the capital of Lecce and was introduced to the right people. The result was a lovely blend of Sangiovese (unusual in Puglia because very little is grown there) and Primitivo. After the success of the red Tiamo, Mel wanted a matching white but could not find anything he liked from the South and so went north to the Veneto. The result was a blend of Pinot Grigio with a small addition of Garganega (the main grape in Soave). Both wines come from small growers and cooperatives and Mel puts the blends together himself.
Tiamo, which simply means I love you in Italian, is a leader in certified organic wines, that represent top quality wines from the best growers in their respective regions. The selection includes a delicious Prosecco that is sourced from vineyards in the village of Valdobbiadene, a crisp but fruit forward Pinot Grigio that comes from vineyards near Treviso in the Veneto region, a beautifully soft Chianti from Montespertoli which lies in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, a robust Barbera from the Lombardy region and a delightful Rosé from Abruzzo. Several of the Tiamo wines are also available in kegs and cans.
