This wine is a still wine, with a nice, robust palate, predominantly cherry, and a subtle complexity. The aroma is primarily cherries and raspberries, currants and raisins, with notes of ripeness and apricot kernels. Medium-bodied for a very refined palate. Unlike many Ripassos, this is a truly serious wine with a good balance between acidity and sweetness.

Tedeschi Ripasso Capitel San Rocco is a dry red wine made from dried grapes from the Valpolicella region. Ripasso is a traditional method in which, during the second fermentation, the must is placed in contact with the warm, dried grape skins from which the Amarone wines are pressed. The result is a unique dry red wine, full-bodied and powerful.

The Tedeschi family has been producing wines of undisputed top quality for years. Not only the wines made from dried grapes, but also the "regular" Valpolicellas are considered specialties of this excellent family business. Aging for eight to ten months in French oak contributes to the creation of an unrecognizably powerful Valpolicella. The Tedeschi winery produces a wide variety of wines. In addition to red wines, they also make white wines based on grapes from neighboring regions such as Soave and Bianco die Custoza. Some of the grapes are purchased from other producers. But of course, the best wines come from their own vineyards in the heart of the region: the Valpolicella Classico.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Valpolicella Ripasso toont rijpe kersen en frambozen met tonen van krenten, rozijnen en subtiele kruidigheid, medium-bodied maar krachtig door rijping op Frans eiken en een frisse zuurgraad die het geheel in balans houdt. Daardoor sluit hij uitstekend aan bij rund- en varkensvlees, hartige charcuterie, stevige kazen en pasta of pizza met rijke tomatensauzen omdat de fruitrijke concentratie en verfijnde tannines vet en umami tegenwicht geven; probeer hem bij gegrilde entrecote of mals gestoofde runderstoof, bij langzaam gegaard varkensvlees of een ragù en bij houtovenpizza met salami of truffelchampignons voor extra harmonie.

Tedeschi is one of the undisputed highlights of the Valpolicella. Not only the wines from dried grapes, but also the 'normal' Valpolicellas may count as specialties of the family business Tedeschi. Father Renzo has now handed things over to his son Riccardo, who is now putting the finishing touches. This newly new generation gives the company some extra impulses, for example with a surprising new Valpolicella. Partly due to the maturation of eight or ten months in French oak, Riccardo creates an unrecognizable powerful Valpolicella, something completely different from the light wine we are used to. This wine comes from Fabriseria's own vineyard, from which a fantastic Amarone is harvested in peak years.

Tedeschi makes a wide range of wines, not only red, but also white from grapes from neighboring regions such as Soave and Bianco die Custoza. Some of the grapes are purchased from other producers. In that case, Tedeschi exercises intensive supervision during the growing season on the state of affairs in the vineyard. The best wines come from our own vineyards from the heart of the region, the Valpolicella Classico. With a few other producers, Tedeschi is committed to stricter rules for Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto. It is rightly believed here that wines based on too high yields, originating from the fertile Po area, are actually unworthy of the DOC Valpolicella. And these wines certainly do not match the perfectionism of special Valpolicella producers such as Fratelli Tedeschi.
