The Tedeschi family has been crafting wines in the heart of Valpolicella since 1630, embodying the deep-rooted winemaking traditions of the Veneto region. Their Valpolicella Superiore is a testament to this heritage, sourced from hillside vineyards where morainic, limestone-rich soils impart a distinct mineral complexity. The wine is crafted from a classic blend of indigenous grapes, predominantly Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella. To achieve the 'Superiore' designation, the grapes are carefully selected and the wine undergoes patient aging in Slavonian oak casks. This process yields a red wine of remarkable structure, elegance, and aromatic complexity, characterized by notes of dark cherry, wild berries, and subtle spices, reflecting the family's commitment to expressing the authentic character of their historic terroir.

They are particularly renowned for pioneering single-vineyard Amarone wines, most notably from the iconic Monte Olmi vineyard acquired in 1918.
