The rich history of Tedeschi

Tedeschi has a long family tradition in winemaking dating back to 1630. The winery specializes in traditional winemaking techniques in the Valpolicella region and has played a pioneering role in the revival of ancient native vines, which offer the best interpretation of terroir. The acquisition of the Maternigo Estate in the Valpolicella DOC area has enabled the company to become completely self-sufficient in its fruit supply. The winery also practices a green environment by reducing its environmental impact through organic farming. The grapes for this fresh Valpolicella come from the eponymous vineyard, located at the foot of the Pedemonte hills in the heart of Valpolicella. This red wine is vinified together with Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, as well as 10 percent other local red grape varieties. After destemming and pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place for eight days at a controlled temperature, after which the wine is stabilized, clarified, and bottled in stainless steel tanks. It then ages for another two months. A beautiful young red wine from Veneto, which, with proper storage, can be kept for three to four years.
