✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Tedeschi family, whose winemaking legacy in Valpolicella spans nearly four centuries, La Fabriseria Rosso represents a pinnacle of elegance in the Veneto region. The name pays homage to the Fabbriceria, the historical parish councils of the region where local elders gathered to make decisions for the community, symbolizing the selection of only the finest fruits from their prized hilltop vineyard situated in the communes of Sant'Ambrogio and Fumane. This wine is typically composed of a traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, enhanced by a small touch of the rare, structured Oseleta grape. Grown on stony, limestone-rich soils at high elevations, the grapes yield a wine of remarkable structure and complexity. Unlike the opulent sweetness of Amarone, La Fabriseria Rosso is celebrated for its dry, refined character, achieved through traditional fermentation and extensive aging in Slavonian oak casks, resulting in a harmonious balance of bright red fruit, savory spice, and mineral depth.
🍾 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.
