Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 2010 30% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 10% Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella Nicolò Tedeschi founded the company that bears his name in the Valpolicella area in 1824. He was a genuine personality of his time, renowned for his skill and moral stature. Throughout the years, his family has continued the traditional wine-making process, and today, the winery is owned by the fifth generation of Tedeschis: Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo. Each has various responsibilities, but it is Riccardo, the oenologist, who deals with production and acts as Tedeschi’s Export Director. Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2010 30% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 10% Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella. In 2010 the DOCG of “Amarone della Valpolicella” was approved which changed production rules for this wine. Therefore the 2010 vintage of Amarone della Valpolicella changed from DOC to DOCG, “guaranteeing” controlled origin. The grapes for this wines are produced in vineyards on the hills of Mezzane and Tregnago.Different sources and different grape varieties are important to obtain well- balanced wines with the fine structure that only a few single areas in the Valpolicella zone can provide. Vineyard notes: Soil: clay and limestone with a strong rock structure. Vine density: 5500 vines per hectare. Vineyard age: 20 years. Cultivation: Guyot. Pruning: 12 buds/plant. Production: 8000 kg/hectare. Winemaking technique: • Grape harvest: end of Sept to early October. • Grapes drying in fruit storage structure: controlled humidity 4 months. • Soft pressing • Alcoholic fermentation and maceration: 40/60 days/temperature 15° C. • Ageing: in Slavonian oak barrel for about 3 years. • Blending Bottling and bottle ageing: 6 months. Description of the Wine: Color: Strong ruby red. Clear and transparent. Bouquet: Notes of vanilla and ethereal airs depending on the period of aging in the barrel; notes of sweet fruits such as currants, blueberries, cherries depending on the varieties of grape. Flavor: Strong, rounded and warm structure. This is a well-balanced wine. After-taste confirms the notes in the bouquet. It has an enduring and persistent flavor. Serving Suggestions: It can be preserved for a long period (15 years from the vintage year). Combinations: red meat - cheeses. Serve at: 61°F. Chemical Analysis: Alcohol (% in vol.): 16, Reducing Sugar (g/l): 5, Total Acidity (g/l): 6,3, Net Dry Extract (g/l): 40, Total Phenols (mg/l): 2500 Wine Advocate - 94 Points The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella sees fruit sourced from various vineyard sites. The blend of fruit is Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella that all see up to four months of appassimento (air-drying in ventilated rooms). The wine offers Tedeschi’s distinctive sweetness - a quality that I assign specifically to this producer - backed by a tight tannic structure. This Amarone promises a long aging future ahead. The Tedeschi family produces wines that are always unique and distinguished. www.DreyfusAshby.com.

  • Understanding Amarone
    UNDERSTANDING AMARONE At 3000 years old, the ancient appassimento winemaking method is the epitome of tried and true. This technique of drying fully ripe grapes on mats or slated crates, for a considerable period of time before fermentation, reaches its apotheosis in the great Italian wines, Amarone and Ripasso. This method helps accentuate the sugars, energize the acids and integrate the tannins resulting in deeper coloured and fuller-flavoured wines. It’s fairly simple. Each producer determines the drying time of their grapes. Ideally, the grapes should raisinate in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to prevent rot. The dehydrated grapes are pressed and fermented dry. Since over 50% of each grape’s liquid (mostly water) is lost to the dehydration process, the flavours of the final wine are intensely concentrated and the alcohol level is anywhere from 2-5% higher than a typical table wine. The secret of this wine’s resurgence is directly related to the popularity of intense, fruit-forward New World wines. Amarones share some of the flavour profile of California Zinfandel or Australian Shiraz, but with a more refined balance between the complex aromas and flavours Amarone is produced in the region of Veneto by estates that make Valpolicella, one of the most popular wines of this area in Northeastern Italy. Amarone della Valpolicella, usually known as Amarone, is a typically rich Italian dry red wine made from the partially dried grapes of the Corvina (40.0% – 70.0%), Rondinella (20.0% – 40.0%) and Molinara (5.0% – 25.0%) varieties. The wine was awarded Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status in December 1990.

  • 2014 Capitel Nicalo'
    2014 CAPITEL NICALO’ Valpolicella DOC Superiore This wine is made from red grape varieties grown on the Moraine Hills in the heart of Valpolicella. This wine is made in a traditional Veronese manner: raisin-drying of the grapes. 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 10% Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella. The effect is partial dehydration: the grapes, placed in crates for about one month, lose about 8-10 % of their weight. This water loss naturally enriches the sugar contents of the grapes, their dry extract, and the colour of the wine. Pre-fermentation aromas are formed during drying. These subsequently blend with fermentation aromas and, above all, with tertiary aromas coming from aging the wine in wooden barrels. Vineyard Notes: Soil: moraine clay and limestone. Vine density: 5500 vines per hectare. Vineyard age: 20 years. Cultivation: Guyot. Pruning: 12 buds/plant. Production: 9000 kg/hectare. Winemaking Technique: Grape harvest: end of September, beginning of October. Grapes drying in fruit storage structure: 1 month. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration: 14 days/temperature 28° C. Malolactic fermentation Ageing: in Slavonian oak barrel for 1/1,5 years. Bottling and bottle ageing: 6 months. Description Of The Wine: Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent. Bouquet: intense and elegant: fruit aroma (currants, black cherries) with the vanilla and tobacco of Slavonian oak. Flavor: good body, good structure, lively acidity and alcohol content well balanced with tannins. The after taste confirms the notes in the bouquet. A complex and elegant wine. Suited for ageing: 7/10 years. Combinations: Can be enjoyed throughout the meal, from pasta to cheeses.

  • Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico
    Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vine Variety The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG DolceVera red wine is made from 50% Corvina grape, 25% Corvinone grape, 15% Rondinella grape and 10% from other grape varieties. All of them are native vines cultivated in the town of Villa of Negrar, at an alti- tude between 260 and 280 m a.s.l. The hilly area on which the DolceVera vines stand ensures optimal sun exposure for the ripening of the grapes and a balanced and more alcohol-rich production. Winemaking Amarone della Valpolicella DolceVera, is obtained from the best grapes harvested in late September and early October. After undergoing an extremely accurate selection process, they are put in boxes of 6 kg each and then to dry in a straw mat for about 3 months. After a weight loss of 40%, the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed, the fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24°C and the maceration on the skins lasts approximately 30 days. What is obtained is a sumptuous and valuable wine with notable alcohol content and an equally impressive structure. Wine aging Our Amarone is refined in barrels of 7,5 ht and then makes a passage in large barrels. All for a period of 36 months. For the aging, we use both the French oak that releases soft and silky notes on the wine, and that of Slavonia, which lead to an aromatic body of very rich spices. Everything takes place in the small cellar built near the main vineyard of Villa.

  • Amarone Della Valpolicella 2016
    Amarone della Valpolicella Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita CLASSICO 2016 Produced in the classic Valpolicella area. The drying on racks of the Corvina, Rondinella, Rossignola and Negrara grapes until mid January and the ageing in large oak barrels and barriques, together with the long period of rest in bottles, allow us to enjoy this great wine. 2016 Climatic trend Winter temperatures were higher than average and particularly dry apart from a little snow. The following months saw temperatures fluctuate, with lower than average values, particularly in July and August. Rainfall remained high, with some days of continuous rain. There were typical summer storms, but no more than normal. The weather was decidedly good with the arrival of September when, despite considera- bly intense rainfall, high temperatures and breezes kept humidity low, enabling the vines to reach maturity. Autumn drew to an end with mild temperatures lasting through until early December. At the beginning of April, early bud break took place in almost all of the vineyards, followed by rapid leaf production. Flowering took place as per normal, towards the end of May. Growth then slowed down and veraison was shown towards the end of July/early August, as has been the norm in the past for the various varieties and environments. Ripening was complete about a month later and harvesting of the grapes destined for storage in the fruttaio began in line with historical averages. Production Grape varieties made up of 70-75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 5% Rossignola e Negrara. The grapes to be used in the Amarone production are har- vested 1-2 weeks earlier than those for the Valpolicella wine.
