2022 Tedeschi Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Capitel San Rocco

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.
