Tedeschi Wines can trace their roots back to 1824 when Nicolo Tedeschi purchased several vineyards (although the family have records of owning vineyards back to 1630). A descendant, Riccardo Tedeschi, purchased vineyards in 1918 which included Monte Fontana and their famous Amarone vineyard, Monte Olmi. Today, Tedeschi remains a family business and, through a combination of tradition and innovation, it is one of the foremost wineries and one of the top producers of Amarone and Recioto wines in the Veneto region.
The family manages 74 hectares of vineyards, of which 29 are family-owned. Amarone della Valpolicella is considered the most prestigious wine of the Veneto region. Most recently, the family have further invested in the new vineyard sites of La Fabriseria in Pontare and Maternigo in the Eastern part of Valpolicella.
Valpolicella DOC Superiore signifies that the wine is of a higher quality level compared to the regular Valpolicella DOC wines. To earn the Superiore designation, the wine must meet specific requirements during production, including longer periods of maturation and a higher alcohol content.
Tedeschi Capitel Nicalo Valpolicella DOC Superiore is a strong ruby red colour. The nose is intense and elegant with fruit aroma (currants, black cherries), vanilla and tobacco nuances characteristic of Slavonian oak. Good body, well-structured, lively acidity and alcohol content well balanced with tannins. The after taste confirms the notes in the bouquet. A complex and elegant wine.
