Region: Paso Robles, California, USA
Grapes: Zinfandel, Albariño
Body: Light to Medium
Notes: Blood orange, fresh pomegranate, wild hibiscus, wet slate, bright acidity, tea-like tannins, electric finish
Pairing: Carnitas tacos, Korean fried chicken, spicy tuna crispy rice, margherita pizza, charcuterie with jammy fruits
Tinto Amorio is the brainchild of Anish Patel, a first-generation Indian-American who left a career in finance to pursue a passion for "California cool" natural wines. The name "Bheyo" is a Sanskrit-inspired term meaning "to become" or "fearless," reflecting the brand's mission to demystify wine for a new generation. This wine is a true "glou-glou" hybrid—it’s technically a co-fermented orange wine made by blending red Zinfandel and white Albariño grapes. The fruit is sourced from sustainable vineyards in Paso Robles and fermented with zero additives, including no added sulfites. What makes Patel’s approach unique is his obsession with transparency; every bottle includes a full nutritional label, a rarity in the wine world. The result is a vibrant, neon-hued juice that sits somewhere between a dark rosé and a light orange wine, designed specifically to be served chilled and shared at a high-energy dinner party.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
