THE TEDESCHI FAMILY, A STORY OF ITALIAN WINEMAKERS.
With 4 centuries of history and winemaking tradition behind us, we are proud to be the pioneers of the cru wines of Valpolicella. Since 1630, our family has been passionately interpreting the Valpolicella area.
Our wines, elegant and with a strong personality, reveal the flavors and aromas typical of the land that has always characterized our production and identity.
Reception of guests & meeting with personal Ambassador who will first guide the VISIT of the cellar, then will guide the TASTING of 5 Tedeschi wines.
A LIGHT LUNCH will follow (platter of artisan cured meats and typical local cheeses). We have a light lunch as we expect that in the afternoon the stomach of our guests will be delighted and “busy” by the cooking class and the following important dinner.
We will then move on to the VERTICAL TASTING of 2 old vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella “Marne 180”, including Wine Spectator’s Top 100 2017 vintage.
In the afternoon your Ambassador will guide the visit and walk in the Valpolicella Classica “Monte Olmi” vineyard and the on-site tasting of the relative Cru wine.
You will then move to the nearby restaurant where your PRIVATE COOKING CLASS will be held from 5.30 pm. Course for home-made traditional Italian fresh pasta, in 3 formats; followed by a complete dinner based on what was produced during the lesson (3 types of pasta, dessert, matching Tedeschi wines)
Wine Spectator Top 100 2021 n.56, 93 pts. Tedeschi Amarone della Valpolicella Marne 180 – 2017*
Richly aromatic on the nose with savory notes of cigar box, ground coffee and smoke, a fragrant thread that transitions on the palate to underscore a pure beam of crème de cassis, damson plum preserve and olive tapenade flavors. This silky red is full-bodied yet harmonious, with fine-grained tannins emerging to firm the finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Rossignola. Drink now through 2030. 12,500 cases made, 600 cases imported. —AN
