✨ Technical Specifications
The Tedeschi family, legendary pioneers of Valpolicella since 1630, created 'Ga.Ry' as a playful and innovative departure from their famous red wines. The name itself is a clever portmanteau representing its unique grape blend: Garganega ('Ga'), the historic white grape of the Veneto, and Rhine Riesling ('Ry'). Grown in the mineral-rich clay and limestone soils of the Veronese hills, this wine beautifully marries the local heritage of Garganega—which brings structure, white flower aromas, and a signature bitter almond finish—with the vibrant acidity, petrol notes, and citrusy drive of Riesling. Vinified entirely in stainless steel with light lees contact, it preserves the pristine purity of both varieties, resulting in a white wine of remarkable freshness, tension, and aromatic complexity.
🍾 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.
