Tedeschi

Common questions

• Where is the Tedeschi winery and which appellation does it belong to? add remove
  Tedeschi is at Via Giuseppe Verdi 4/a in Pedemonte di Valpolicella, in the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano, province of Verona. It sits inside the Valpolicella Classica zone. The estate works fruit from Valpolicella Classica and from the eastern Valpolicella DOC area at Maternigo, between Tregnago and Mezzane di Sotto.
• What is the flagship wine at Tedeschi? add remove
  It is the Capitel Monte Olmi Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva, first released in 1964 from the Monte Olmi vineyard in Pedemonte. It was one of the earliest single-vineyard readings of Amarone. It is still the reference bottling on the estate, alongside the Fabriseria and Maternigo Amarone Riserva crus.
• Is Tedeschi a family-run estate? add remove
  Yes. The Tedeschi family has farmed in Valpolicella since 1630. The company today is Soc. Agricola F.lli Tedeschi Srl. Antonietta Tedeschi leads strategy, Sabrina Tedeschi leads international markets, and Riccardo Tedeschi works as the family enologist.
• Does Tedeschi hold any sustainability or organic certifications? add remove
  Tedeschi has been on a voluntary sustainability path since 2018. It is certified to both the Equalitas standard and the Biodiversity Friend protocol. The estate publishes a sustainability balance with carbon and water figures for the company and for the cru parcels. It also runs an ongoing soil zonation programme across Valpolicella Classica and Maternigo. There is no organic certification at present.
• Can you visit Tedeschi for a tasting or tour? add remove
  Yes, by reservation. The estate offers cellar visits with five-wine tastings, from one hour at 28 euros up to a Sixth Sense vertical of older Capitel Monte Olmi at 180 euros. Vineyard tours run for three to four hours through Monte Olmi, Fabriseria or the Maternigo estate. Those cost from 80 to 140 euros per person.
• What grapes does Tedeschi work with? add remove
  The reds are built on the Valpolicella blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, plus complementary local varieties such as Oseleta and Negrara. The family has helped recover those through a long-running selection programme. The whites use Garganega for the Capitel Tenda Soave Classico, and a separate aromatic blend for the GA.RY IGT Veneto Bianco.
