Lively Valpolicella Superiore with a beautiful scent of cherries and bright red berries. Fine fruitiness on the palate, soft tannin and restrained mild acidity give the taste a pleasant lightness. High drinking flow guaranteed! SUPERIORE.DE

Produced using the Appassimento or Amarone method, Valpolicella presents itself with a rich ruby violet colour. In the nose, it has compact notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, some cloves, elderberries and liquorice, with discreet notes of chocolate in the background. Full and powerful with a lot of melodiousness on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

San Rocco, after two years of ageing in Slavonian oak barrels, has a warm character and a lush dark fruity, expressive taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, dark ruby red. In the nose of ripe forest fruits, elderberries, underlaid with some eucalyptus and mint, in the aftertaste leather. Well-balanced and clear in the mouth, stretches fine and juicy, deep dark fruit, spans a wide arch, powerful final." Falstaff

An accessible, fruity classic at a high level. Clear scent of wild berries and flowers, on the palate a mix of dark berry notes, fine spices and light tannin. Good taste and depth give this noble Valpolicella its wonderful drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark, rich ruby red. Fragrant nose, of rich blackberries, dark chocolate, liquorice, light leather touch in the aftertaste. Full-bodied entrance to the palate with a slightly spicy bouquet, spans wide, rich drink, builds up in many layers, powerful, very long final." Falstaff

La Fabriseria looks like an elegant, medium weight Amarone. Its intensity, tannin structure and density are hard to beat in this price range. On the palate it is very juicy, full-bodied and soft, with notes of cherry, cardamom and cloves. And always with the elegant seriousness of the big flagship of the Tedeschi family of the same name. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, rich, dark ruby red. Delicately spicy nose, after leather and tobacco, then shows rich Amarena cherry and blackberry, in the aftertaste mineral touch. Dense and rich on the palate, opens on a velvety enamel, spreads beautifully, flows calmly, multi-layered and long in the harmonious final." Falstaff

"Dark cherries overwhelm at first; this will need time in a decanter to open up. A whole herb garden then appears, including dried peppermint, cumin, parsley and chives. Full-bodied and very juicy on the palate with chunky tannins and spice undertones throughout." James Suckling

The name says it all: Marne means marl soil on which the vines for this magnificent Amarone grow. They are at least 20 years old and lie in an ideal 180° direction - from south-west to south-east. Rich, dense colour, compact bouquet with intense aromas of plum, green tea and tobacco, with a fine chocolate note in the background. The powerful body changes on the palate into a dynamic taste experience with sweet fruit melt, firm tannin and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"There's a sense of finesse to this concentrated red, with the fine tannins providing a plush frame for well-knit flavors of ripe red and black currant, wild sage, red licorice and graphite-laced mineral that linger on the mouthwatering finish." Wine Spectator

"The flashy dark fruit here is impressive and captivates while running through various shades of dark licorice, dark cherries and dark plums. Hints of tee-tree and eucalyptus oil. Full-bodied and plush, yet tightly woven and rather savory. This is a delicious Amarone with a powerful, chewy backbone of tannins. Drink from 2023." James Suckling

"Referring to the marly soil and 180-degree exposure, Tedeschi's Marne 180 is crafted from the estate's hillside vineyards in eastern Valpolicella. Besides the requisite Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, it includes a handful of lesser-known grape varieties indigenous to the zone - like Negrara, Rossignola, Forselina and Croatina. An exuberant Amarone that is youthful and clean, this has aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and mint which tumble out of the glass then give way to pure dark cherry and sandalwood. Full, rich and luscious, it has smooth, caressing tannins and bright acid to refresh, lingering with plum and dried violet. This epitomises the vibrancy of the 2016 vintage." Decanter

Sparkling ruby red, fine scent of honey, pickled cherries and plums. Full and dense on the palate, full on the palate, noticeable tannin in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense, bright ruby red. Very clear scent of ripe cherries, cassis, elderberries and plums, with sandalwood, cloves and white pepper in the background. Great fruit on the palate, much handy tannin, complex, long and multi-layered. An exciting, still quite young wine with enormous potential for many, many years. SUPERIORE.DE

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico La Fabriseria presents itself massive and with seductive complexity. Deep bouquet of black berries and cocoa, violets and lavender. The taste is immensely fruity with the aromas of cherry, blackberry and wild berry, and the invigorating impressions of medicinal herbs. Elegant and long finish with fine sweetness and a hint of mint. For us one of the greatest wines of Valpolicella! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, bright ruby red. Elegant and fragrant nose of ripe plums, Amarena cherries, chocolate, with an aftertaste of mint and the finest notes of wood. Complex and elegant on the palate with filigree acidity, pronounced fruit, stretches far over the tongue, gripping in the second part with polished tannin, echoes very long." Falstaff

"A rich, racehorse of a red, with a sense of finesse to the integration of dense and sculpted elements. Offers a rich streak of smoky mineral and forest floor, showing a lovely range of cherry and black raspberry coulis, mandarin orange peel and sandalwood flavors. Delivers a long, grippy finish." Wine Spectator

"Deep ruby. Captivating nose of ripe red cherry, cassis, botanical herbs, smoke and brown spices. At once powerful and refined, with a multilayered quality to its complex, opulent red cherry, aromatic herb and honeyed flavors. Finishes extremely long and classically dry. A knockout Amarone. Tedeschi’s 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva La Fabriseria is a benchmark wine in more ways than one: it’s the first Riserva La Fabriseria ever made by Tedeschi, and also the first time this wine is a true cru, made from a single vineyard in San Giorgio di Valpolicella (which falls in between Fumane and Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella). A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta, it’s aged four years in large oak barrels, it’s a wine Tedeschi makes only in exceptional vintages." VINOUS

"This is a bruiser of a wine—but in a very good way. Loud and expressive and with a roundhouse 17% alcohol kick, the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva la Fabriseria throws out several different shades of smoke and spice within its thick quality of fruit. Super rich and full-bodied, you'll appreciate its bold character of toasted espresso bean and oak, presented alongside cola and cherry liqueur. The wine is like a gregarious but cuddly friend who is built like a tank and doesn't register his own strength. The blend is 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta, all coming from the La Fabriseria vineyard located between San Giorgio di Valpolicella and Mazzurega in the Sant'Ambrogio valley, with vines at 500 meters above sea level. The grapes are dried for four months in a ventilated room. Since its birth, this wine has only been produced in the following vintages: 1983, 1988, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2005, 2007 and 2011. Starting with this 2011 vintage, the wine now carries the Riserva designation. You won't find many Amarones quite like this one, especially as only 2,500 bottles of this vintage were made."
