About the Producer:
Nicolò Tedeschi
saw great potential for grape growing in the Pedemonte zone of
Valpolicella (not to be confused with the region of Piemonte).
This respected community elder acquired a few small patches of
land in 1824 and established a family tradition of superlative
standards in both personal and professional matters. Almost a century
later Riccardo Tedeschi turned more seriously to the development
of quality in their wines and therefore purchased the vineyards
of Monte Fontana and Monte Olmi, which he instinctively knew to
be the best sites in the area. Nicolò and Riccardo’s
descendants were fortunate enough to inherit their dignity and
resolve, and these qualities are still manifest in the current
owners of the estate. Today’s patriarch is Renzo Tedeschi,
who oversees the operation and shares the work with his wife Bruna
and their children Antonietta, Sabrina, and Riccardo. With 22 hectares
of vineyards planted to classic local varietals, the Tedeschi estate
respectfully follows traditional viticultural practices and methods
of vinification, always bowing to Nature’s superior wisdom.

Fratelli Tedeschi Amarone Classico della Valpolicella: Corvina
(30%), Corvinone (30%), and Rondinella (30%) filled out by Molinara, Rossignola,
Oseleta, Negrara, and Dindarella. Blending grapes from the area’s top vineyard
sites ensures perfect balance. Ruby red emitting sweet dark berries that capture
the unique varietals. A touch of wood and spice on the ample palate. Great power
and structure with a long, bitter finish.
Fratelli Tedeschi Capitel San Rocco Rosso: The same blend as the
Amarone with a drop of Sangiovese added, tweaked with a ‘ripasso’ through
Recioto and Amarone marc. Bright ruby. Fresh red berries with undertones of dried
fruit. Soft and fruity on the palate. Round, well structured, and persistent.
