The Tedeschi family has been deeply rooted in the Valpolicella region for nearly four centuries, establishing themselves as masters of the traditional appassimento technique. The 'Ansari' Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG is a poignant tribute to the family's modern legacy, its name derived from the initials of the siblings Antonietta, Sabrina, and Riccardo. Crafted from a classic blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes harvested from select hillside vineyards, the fruit undergoes a meticulous drying process in specialized drying rooms for several months. This concentrates the sugars, acids, and polyphenols before a slow fermentation and extensive aging in Slavonian oak barrels. The resulting wine is a powerful, complex masterpiece, reflecting the clay-limestone soils of the region and the family's commitment to elegance, structure, and balance.
