Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition, produced exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides. Since 1630, their family has believed in the extraordinary potential of local wine production, enhancing its value in a modern key with innovative production and environmental management methods with the end result of creating wines that are able to evoke emotion and render homage to the magnificent land
Ripasso wine is made using an ancient winemaking technique called "ripasso." (Some call it the poor man's Amarone!) The young Valpolicella wine is fermented with the unpressed but drained skins and lees left over from making Amarone. This adds flavour and intensity, though Ripasso normally has a lighter taste than Amarone wines, which makes it easier to combine with food, and is often less expensive. Fruity, well-balanced and very well structured. Best food matches are: red meat, game and cheeses.
750 mlThis wine is produced with grapes selected from the Marne Bianche vineyard on the Maternigo Estate. The wine is obtained according to the ancient technique of Ripasso, in other words, through the refermentation of one part of Valpolicella wine produced in October on the marc of Amarone and Recioto. Aging is carried out in Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 15 months, followed by a further 6 months in the bottle. This is an elegant wine that is complex and reflects the style of the family. It is round, but dry, and is a great representative of the territory that expresses its value by standing out from the crowd. It is suitable for aging and for food pairings. It can be paired with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
