✨ Technical Specifications
The Tedeschi family has been crafting wine in the heart of Valpolicella for nearly four centuries, and the Fabriseria label represents the absolute pinnacle of their viticultural heritage. The name itself pays homage to the 'fabbriceria'—the local parish council—recalling a historical tradition where the finest, most exceptional barrels of the harvest were reserved for the parish priest and distinguished community guests. Sourced from high-altitude, stony vineyards in the hills of the Valpolicella Classico zone, this powerful red is crafted from a traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Oseleta. The grapes undergo a meticulous 'appassimento' drying process for several months to concentrate their sugars, acids, and polyphenols. Following a slow fermentation, the wine is aged for several years in Slavonian oak casks, resulting in an incredibly complex, muscular, yet elegant profile defined by dark dried fruits, cocoa, sweet spices, and balsamic undertones.
🍾 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.
