Tedeschi's Marne 180 Amarone della Valpolicella is a masterclass in the synergy between terroir and tradition. The name itself tells a story: Marne refers to the nutrient-rich marl clay soils that impart structure and elegance, while 180 represents the 180-degree amphitheater-like exposure of the vineyards, stretching from southeast to southwest to capture perfect sunlight. Crafted by the historic Tedeschi family, whose winemaking heritage in Veneto spans over four centuries, this wine is made using the traditional appassimento method. Hand-harvested grapes, primarily Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, are dried on racks for several months, concentrating their sugars, acids, and flavors before a slow fermentation and extensive aging in Slavonian oak casks. The result is a powerful yet remarkably balanced red wine, rich with history and the soul of Valpolicella.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1824 when Nicolò Tedeschi purchased his first vineyards, the Tedeschi estate is located in Pedemonte, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region of Veneto, Italy. Owned and managed by the Tedeschi family for generations, the winery is highly respected for its commitment to terroir-driven research, clonal selection, and the traditional appassimento grape-drying process. They are particularly renowned for pioneering single-vineyard Amarone wines, most notably from the iconic Monte Olmi vineyard acquired in 1918. Their exceptional portfolio includes acclaimed expressions like the Marne 180 Amarone, the elegant Maternigo, and the historic Capitel Monte Olmi Riserva, representing the pinnacle of Valpolicella winemaking.
