✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
With viticultural roots dating back nearly four centuries to 1630, the Tedeschi family is one of the most storied and respected names in Veneto's Valpolicella region. Based in Pedemonte, the estate gained international acclaim under Renzo Tedeschi and is today guided by his children Antonietta, Sabrina, and Riccardo, who uphold an uncompromising commitment to terroir expression and local heritage. Tedeschi was a pioneer of single-vineyard selection in the region with the landmark 1964 bottling of Capitel Monte Olmi, helping to redefine the standard for site-specific Valpolicella. Employing careful appassimento drying methods and rigorous vineyard management across estates like Maternigo and Fabriseria, the producer is world-renowned for its powerful, elegant Amarone della Valpolicella, expressive Valpolicella Superiore, and refined regional spirits.
