IT Tedeschi Capitel Nicalo Valpolicella Superiore

Tedeschi Winery:  Four centuries of winemaking history and tradition, cru wine pioneers in Valpolicella.  Since 1630 our family has been passionate in its interpretation of the Valpolicella region. Our wines, elegant and endowed with marked personality, reveal the tastes and aromas that are typical of the earth that has always characterized our production and identity.

Made from red grape varieties grown on the Moraine Hills in the heart of Valpolicella. This wine is made in a traditional Veronese manner: drying of the grapes. 

The effect is partial dehydration: the grapes, placed in crates for about one month, lose about 8-10 % of their weight. This water loss naturally enriches the sugar contents of the grapes, their dry extract, and the colour of the wine.
