LIFETIME – January 2001
“… During a September visit, I was impressed with the outstanding quality from
producers focused on every aspect of winemaking…Tedeschi is another family-owned
winery with single-vineyard and traditional Valpolicella and Amarone. One of the
daughters completed a study that showed the benefits of the semi-dried grapes used in
making Amarone for lowering cholesterol”

VALPOLICELLA DEI NICALO 1999 TEDESCHI

Made by the young winemaker Riccardo Tedeschi, with the help of father Renzo,…This has a classic mature Valpolicella nose. Slightly farmyardy in style, it manages to be complex and intriguing without ever being heavy.
