Country: Italy / Capitel Monte Olmi
Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara Veneto
Winery: Tedeschi / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Tedeschi is one of the most respected winemaking families in Valpolicella but recently (over the past three or four years), they have adopted a much sweeter—and consequently more astringent—style of Amarone. It won’t appeal to everyone, but the wine does offer bountiful aromas of dark fruit, herbs and green peppercorn.
