✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Tedeschi family has been deeply rooted in the Valpolicella region of Veneto for nearly two centuries, establishing a legacy of crafting powerful yet elegant red wines. Their signature red wines are defined by the classic Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grape blend, grown on the limestone-rich, clay soils of the Valpolicella hills. Tedeschi is renowned for mastering the appassimento technique—where grapes are dried on bamboo racks to concentrate sugars and flavors—as well as traditional fermentation methods. This meticulous approach yields wines with a deep ruby hue, complex aromas of dark cherry, plum, wild herbs, and sweet spices, backed by a robust structure and vibrant acidity that reflects the family's dedication to terroir and tradition.
