Indulge in the inviting elegance of the Tievoli Red Blend from Oak Farm Vineyards—a robust, fruit-forward red that showcases the craftsmanship and heritage of Lodi’s winemaking tradition. Named with a clever twist (“I LOVE IT” spelled backwards), Tievoli is more than a playful label—it’s a heartfelt expression of passion, balance, and timeless flavor.

Crafted at the award-winning Oak Farm Vineyards estate, this red blend offers a nuanced, full-bodied wine that reflects the richness of California’s Central Valley while maintaining a smooth, drinkable profile perfect for any occasion.

A Skillful Blend of Noble Varietals

The Tievoli Red Blend is composed primarily of Zinfandel, which contributes deep, jammy fruit notes and soft spice. Petite Sirah adds structure and intensity, while Barbera delivers bright acidity and red berry freshness. Sangiovese makes a subtle appearance, imparting a rustic charm and a refined finish.

Each varietal in this carefully crafted blend is chosen to complement the others, resulting in a wine that is both layered and harmonious. The blend ratio may vary slightly by vintage, but the winemaker's vision remains clear—balance, complexity, and pleasure in every glass.

Tasting Profile

Pour a glass of Tievoli, and you’ll first notice its deep ruby color with purple undertones—a visual cue of its rich intensity. On the nose, this red blend is expressive and aromatic, offering notes of ripe blackberry, raspberry compote, and black cherry, wrapped in subtle hints of vanilla, mocha, and toasty oak.

On the palate, Tievoli delivers a mouth-coating texture with flavors that mirror the nose—dark fruit dominates, supported by underlying layers of spice, cocoa, and dried herbs. Soft tannins give the wine structure without being overly firm, and the finish is long, smooth, and satisfyingly dry with a touch of oak sweetness.

Artful Winemaking

The grapes for Tievoli are grown in the heart of Lodi, a region celebrated for its Mediterranean climate, warm days, and cool nights—ideal for ripening red varietals. Oak Farm Vineyards embraces sustainable viticulture practices, ensuring every vine produces fruit that reflects the character of the land.

Each varietal is harvested separately, fermented with care, and aged in a combination of American and French oak barrels for added depth. The result is a well-integrated red blend that is bold yet approachable, making it a crowd-pleaser for both casual wine drinkers and discerning enthusiasts.
