Almost twenty years ago the Tedeschi family decided to explore eastern Valpolicella, acquiring a sizable estate in the high hills between Tregnago and Mezzane, a single tract of nearly 90 hectares. 33 of these are now vineyards and 2 of them are olive groves, while the rest are woods. The vineyards here are joined by some 15 hectares in the classica production zone, foremost on Monte Olmi. This is the basis for a range with a strong identity and character, where fragrant wines alternate with deep, powerful Amarones. The Monte Olmi '16 manifests this style. It's a wine that pours a dark hue, introducing complex aromas, where dark fruit appears sweet and compact, accompanied by a pronounced spicy and brackish component that adds unpredictability. In the mouth, it's dense, powerful, and at the same time has an unexpected acidic tension that brings the wine onto a harmonious and dynamic track. The Valpolicella Maternigo '20 goes all in on vibrant fruit before a firm, highly sapid palate.
