✨ 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
Tracing its viticultural heritage back to 1630, Agricola Fratelli Tedeschi is a cornerstone of the Valpolicella Classica region. Based in Pedemonte, the estate is directed by siblings Antonietta, Sabrina, and winemaker Riccardo Tedeschi, who carry forward a multi-generational legacy refined by their father Lorenzo. Lorenzo pioneered single-vineyard bottlings in Valpolicella in the 1960s with the legendary Capitel Monte Olmi. The Tedeschi vineyards—spanning prominent crus including Monte Olmi, La Fabriseria, and Maternigo—occupy terraced limestone, marl, and calcareous clay soils ranging from 130 to over 400 meters in elevation. Employing precise micro-zonation and certified sustainable practices through Equalitas and Biodiversity Friend, Tedeschi champions indigenous Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella alongside historic varieties like Oseleta. Winemaking centers on measured, climate-controlled appassimento, extended fermentations, and disciplined aging in large Slavonian oak casks. The resulting Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella Superiore wines are internationally acclaimed for their crystalline aromatic purity, structural tension, and age-worthy elegance.
