Tedeschi

Valpolicella Amarone from Veneto's master of the appassimento tradition.

Tedeschi produces Amarone della Valpolicella in Veneto, the northeastern Italian region where this concentrated, dried-grape wine reaches its fullest expression. The winery's portfolio centers on the appassimento method—the traditional practice of drying grapes before fermentation to concentrate sugars and tannins. Maternigo Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva, built from Rondinella, Corvina, and Molinara, represents the house's flagship expression. Marne 180 Amarone della Valpolicella expands the blend to include Rossignola, Dindarella, Oseleta, and Corvinone, layering complexity across the Valpolicella's classic varieties. Recioto della Valpolicella Amarone rounds the range with a broader palette of grapes, including Negrara Trentino, Sangiovese, and Barbera alongside the core Valpolicella varieties. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. Tedeschi's work reflects the discipline of appassimento winemaking, where patience in the drying room translates to depth and structure in the glass.
