✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Tedeschi estate in the heart of Valpolicella, this exceptional grappa is distilled from the precious pomace of the single-vineyard Capitel Monte Olmi Amarone della Valpolicella. The Tedeschi family, with a winemaking heritage spanning nearly four centuries, utilizes the residual skins of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes that have undergone the traditional appassimento air-drying process. This concentration of sugars and aromatic compounds yields a pomace of extraordinary richness. Distilled using artisanal copper alembics, the resulting spirit captures the very essence of the Monte Olmi terroir—offering intense aromas of dried cherries, raisins, cocoa, and warm spices, wrapped in a velvety, robust structure that reflects the warmth and history of the Veneto region.
🍾 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.
