2021 Tedeschi La Fabriseria Valpolicella Classico Superior

This great La Fabriseria also endorses the excellent style of the Tedeschi winery, one of the very best wineries in the Valpolicella. This La Fabriseria is made from late harvest grapes from vineyards located at about 500 meters above sea level, with very low temperatures at night. The Tedeschi family is famous for its wines based on dried grapes, and also wanted to reach the absolute top in dry red wines based on grapes without any form of drying and without Ripasso - fermenting on the skins of dried grapes. The Rosso della Fabriseria is the result of this. Only the very best grapes from the estate were used for this wine. The indigenous Corvina has the largest share in this special wine. This grape is supplemented with Rondinella and a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon, for the firmness. Maturation in oak barrels of various sizes formed the completion of the work.

The Tedeschi La Fabriseria Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a great wine, beautiful ruby red in color, with aromas of intense cherry fruit, jam, plums, vanilla and flowers. In the mouth a rich, complex taste with lots of fruit and juice (cherries, blackberries), nice lively acids, a fine bitterness, currants, with light tannins. This wine is wonderfully ripe and well balanced. 92/100 Suckling and 92+ Vinous.

WINE-FOOD SUGGESTIONS:

  The juicy chicken and spicy marinade complement the fresh acidity and spicy notes of the wine.

• Pasta with mushrooms and bacon
  The earthy mushrooms and salty bacon are beautifully rounded off by the elegant structure of the Valpolicella.

• Risotto with Parmesan cheese and roasted pumpkin
  The creamy texture and light sweetness of the pumpkin harmonize with the soft red fruit and spiciness of the wine.

• Lasagna with ricotta, spinach and tomato sauce
  The creamy layers and fresh tomato complement the fresh acids and ripe fruit in the wine well.

• Leg of lamb with sage, garlic and red wine sauce
  The spicy and juicy flavours of the lamb match perfectly with the depth and fine tannin structure of the wine.

• Pheasant fillet with a sauce of dried cherries and port
  The subtle gamey aroma and sweet-fruity sauce are beautifully supported by the ripe fruit, acids and refined wood influence of this Valpolicella.
