La Fabriseria Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG - Tedeschi

The deep, dark ruby hue of the La Fabriseria Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG - Tedeschi shimmers with an almost violet core in the glass. The nose reveals an intense fragrance of ripe raspberries, black cherries and preserved plums, interwoven with hints of tobacco, dark chocolate and delicate vanilla. Spicy nuances of liquorice, black pepper and dried herbs gradually emerge, lending the bouquet impressive depth and tension.

On the palate, this Amarone is rich, powerful and precise at the same time. The texture is dense and velvety, supported by ripe, finely polished tannins. The wine displays a dry flavour profile with concentrated fruit, hints of raspberry jam, black cherry and dried cranberry. Notes of cocoa, espresso, tobacco leaf and delicate vanilla from ageing in wooden barrels provide complex accents. The lively acidity adds freshness and creates an impressive balance with the opulent fullness and high alcohol content of 17% by volume.

The structure is multilayered and taut. The body shows great fullness without sacrificing elegance. The tannins settle silkily on the palate and accompany an exceptionally long finish, in which dark berries, spice and a delicate balsamic note appear once again. This red wine embodies the classic style of a top Amarone from the Valpolicella Classico area, with enormous ageing potential and a clear sense of provenance.

The cuvée of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella comes from the Tedeschi family’s finest sites in the heart of Veneto. The vines are rooted on hillside sites with partly stony, poor soils, lending the grapes particular concentration and aromatic depth.

Production of La Fabriseria Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG - Tedeschi

The grapes for the La Fabriseria Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG - Tedeschi come from carefully selected plots in the classic Valpolicella area around Pedemonte di Valpolicella. The region has a mild climate influenced by winds from Lake Garda, with warm days and notably cooler nights. These temperature differences promote slow aromatic development and ensure clear, concentrated fruit aromas.

The soils consist of limestone, clay and stony rubble. This combination limits vine growth and thereby intensifies the aromas of the grapes. Older vines produce smaller berries that are particularly rich in aroma. The harvest is carried out selectively by hand so that only fully ripe, perfectly selected grapes reach the winery. Several passes through the vineyards ensure rigorous selection.

This Amarone is made using the traditional appassimento method. After harvesting, the grapes are left to dry naturally for an extended period in well-ventilated rooms. During this time, water evaporates from the berries, concentrating the aromas while increasing the sugar and extract levels. The result is highly concentrated grapes with intense richness of flavour.

After gentle pressing, a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation follows, emphasising the intense character of the cuvée of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. The wine is aged in wood over an extended period, usually in large casks and partly in barriques. The wood imparts delicate notes of vanilla, toast and tobacco without obscuring the fruit.

For generations, the Tedeschi house style has stood for depth, structure and clarity. Tradition and modern precision work hand in hand. Care in the vineyard meets meticulous cellar work, clearly highlighting the natural character of the grape varieties and the terroir. As a result, the Amarone is powerful, complex and remarkably balanced at the same time.
