Book this experienceAbout Tedeschi
The Tedeschi family has worked the Valpolicella hills since 1630, but the modern story of the estate begins with Lorenzo Tedeschi in the 1960s. He was the first to vinify the grapes of the Monte Olmi vineyard separately, releasing the inaugural Amarone Capitel Monte Olmi in 1964 and establishing a single-vineyard reading of Amarone at a time when cru thinking was almost unknown in Italian wine.
The estate is anchored on three vineyard zones. Monte Olmi sits on terraces in Pedemonte, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, and was bought by Riccardo Tedeschi in 1918. La Fabriseria, planted in the early 2000s in Le Pontare between Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella and Fumane, also lies in the Classica zone and gives the Fabriseria Amarone Riserva and a Valpolicella Classico Superiore. Maternigo, acquired in 2006, covers 84 hectares between Tregnago and Mezzane di Sotto in eastern Valpolicella DOC, with hillside parcels protected by woodland.
The range stays inside the Valpolicella vocabulary. Alongside Capitel Monte Olmi, Fabriseria, and Maternigo Amarone Riserva there are the Marne 180 and Ansari Amarone bottlings, the Capitel Fontana Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG Classico, the San Rocco Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore, and a tier of Valpolicella DOC Superiore wines led by Nicalo. A Soave DOC Classico called Capitel Tenda and the GA.RY IGT Veneto Bianco round out the whites, with a grappa and an extra-virgin olive oil from Maternigo as small-volume estate products.
The estate is jointly managed by Antonietta, Sabrina, and Riccardo Tedeschi, who lead strategy, international markets, and winemaking respectively. Since 2018 the cellar has carried Equalitas and Biodiversity Friend sustainability certifications, with carbon and water balances tracked across the company and the cru parcels, and a long-running soil zonation programme covering both Valpolicella Classica and Maternigo. The work feeds back into vineyard choices: hillside-only fruit, late ripening, and the pursuit of structure without weight.
For visitors, the estate runs a structured offer of vineyard walks and cellar tastings, from a one-hour Valpolicella primer to a four-hour Maternigo Super Tour through the eastern estate. The Sixth Sense tasting opens older bottlings of Capitel Monte Olmi for those who want to read Amarone after twenty years in glass, the kind of vertical reference point that places Tedeschi inside the slow conversation about how cru Amarone ages.
