The Tedeschis respect and promote the area by producing powerful, elegant, typical wines that are rich in character. Thanks to the colour, the aroma and the taste of the Tedeschis’ wines, you will discover the strong character and love of the people who produced them, the gentle hills where grapes are grown and the rich, complex cultural heritage and traditions that have been treasured in Valpolicella for centuries. Attention to tradition, focus on innovation and knowledge of the local territory are the key elements that make up the identity of the Tedeschis’ estate. The family’s identity is based on their territory. This is the starting point to constantly improve their production quality standards. The Tedeschi family’s vineyards (about 46 ha) all lie on hillside sites and some of them are among the historic vineyards of the Valpolicella Classico zone, such as the famous Monte Olmi, which was the first cru of the denomination. Another historic plot is the Fabriseria vineyard, which gives its name to an entire line of wines that includes our famous Amarone which is only produced in exceptional vintages. The purchase of the Maternigo Estate in the Valpolicella DOC area has enabled the company to become totally self-sufficient as regards fruit supply. It is actually at Maternigo that we began work on zoning and establishing the characteristics of each of our vineyards: a fundamental research project that is one of the first of its kind in Valpolicella. A perfect knowledge of the soils and of the behaviour of the vines in each individual vineyard parcel has allowed us to optimize our vineyard husbandry and to put the finishing touches to the process of increasing environmental sustainability that we began several years ago.“We are convinced that each of our wines has to be born out of our territory and history. The distinctive character of our wines is the result of 400 years of intense passion and research in our vineyard in Valpolicella. To make great wines like Amarone you need commitment and patience: patience that has always gone hand in hand with the passion for Valpolicella; commitment means care and attention to details. Thanks to this detail, the 3 different Amarone Tedeschi are today territory’s flagship of Valpolicella area. You are choosing a true, artisanal Amarone made with the ancient art.” Director of Tedeschi
