The story of Tinto Amorio began on a trip to Spain, where Anish Patel discovered minimal intervention wine. After breaking his spine in a car accident, Anish reflected upon and reinvented his life. He left a job in finance and discovered the world of wine, purchasing tons of grapes to make his own. Now, surrounded by family and friends, his business is flourishing. Tinto Amorio crafts wines for those who appreciate life, are enthusiastic about skin contact, and celebrate the unscripted. Their fruit is sustainably farmed, and they use spontaneous fermentation from native yeasts followed by minimal intervention to create their wines. Minority-owned, Tinto Amorio donates 5% of its profits to local food banks to fight food insecurity.
