Tedeschi family boast of an almost 4-century long history in the wine business and has always believed in the richness of Valpolicella wine production. They have reinterpreted it in a modern key and have adopted the most innovative production methods.
The family respects and promote the area by producing powerful, elegant, typical wines that are rich in.
Thedeschi's work is primarily focused on the vineyards and the care of the vines. The careful attention that they devote to the vineyards implies the research for the most effective interaction between soil characteristics, microclimate, exposure to the sun, best varieties, and training system. Nothing is left to chance. Thanks to the family's constant, strong commitment, the Tedeschis wines have become synonymous with terroir and Valpolicella all over the world.
The Tedeschis’ wine cellar is situated at the centre of Pedemonte di Valpolicella. The recently renovated fermentation facilities have a series of horizontal fermenting vats which allow a perfect extraction of compounds from the skins by means of a suitable programme of pumpovers and movements of the solid mass. The winery also has vertical fermenting vats where it is possible to break the cap and push it under the surface by means of a plunging tool. All vats are temperature controlled. The ageing cellar houses some Slavonian oak barrels with a capacity varying from 1,000 to 5,000 litres.
The new state-of-the-art drying loft is located close to the wine cellar. The drying loft too is equipped with a computer system to control temperature and humidity. The building has a capacity up to 450,000 kg of grapes.
Tedeschi is one of the historical estates of Valpolicella.
The production area of Valpolicella is very large. Its registered vineyards nowadays cover approx. 7,000 hectares. It is bordered to the north by the Lessini mountains, to the south by the Veronese plain, to the east by the Soave area and to the west by the Adige river. The region is divided into three areas: Valpolicella classica (to the north-west of Verona), Valpantena (a narrow strip of vineyards to the north of Verona) and East Valpolicella (to the east of Verona, partly overlapping the DOC Soave area). The estate is located both in Valpolicella classica and in East Valpolicella.
The Valpolicella classica area is made up of three valleys: Negrar, Marano and Fumane. Its area is divided between the municipalities of Fumane, Marano, Negrar, San Pietro Incariano e Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. Each of the three main valleys gives wines with different characteristics. The Negrar Valley produces elegant, full-bodied, mineral and very harmonious wines. As its vineyards are located 400 m above sea level, the Marano Valley produces high-quality, very aromatic wines, especially in warmer years. Finally, the Fumane Valley produces soft wines with low sugar residue. The area further south (where the valley meets the towns of Sant’Ambrogio and Gargagnago) makes extremely typical wines with low acidity, excellent body and which can keep well for a long time.
The Tedeschis’ vineyards in Valpolicella classica are located in Pedemonte and in the municipalities of Sant’Ambrogio and Fumane. The Monte Olmi vineyard is located in Pedemonte. It was one of the very first single-vineyard wines in the area and is nowadays well-known all over the world. The vineyard covers approx. 2.5 hectares and is grown on terraces sustained by drystone walls.
The vineyards to the east of Verona are located in the Squaranto Valley, Mezzane Valley and Illasi Valley. This area is characterized by hills and steep gorges which were created by prehistoric volcanic eruptions. The soil is rich in marine fossils, especially around Illasi. The area consists of the municipalities of Verona, San Martino Buon Albergo, Mezzane di Sotto, Colognola ai Colli, Illasi and Tregnago.
Bought in 2006, the estate of Maternigo is located in this area, between the municipalities of Tregnago and Mezzane di Sotto, and falls into the Denominazione di Orgine Controllata Valpolicella.
The estate was bought on the basis of long and careful research carried out by a team of agronomists and geologists to identify the best soils to produce high-quality wines.
