2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Capitel Monte Olmi, Riserva, Tedesc
About this WINE
Tedeschi
Based in northern Italy's Veneto region, Tedeschi has a rich history dating back to the early 17th century. For generations, the family has been dedicated to producing high-quality wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the Veneto terroir.
Tedeschi is known for its expertise in Amarone della Valpolicella, produced using the traditional appassimento method, where the harvested grapes are laid out to dry for several months before fermentation. This process concentrates the flavours and sugars of the grapes, resulting in a rich, full-bodied wine with intense aromas and complex flavours.
In addition to Amarone, Tedeschi produces a range of other wines that reflect the diverse terroir of the Veneto region. Valpolicella, Ripasso, and Recioto are among the notable red wines crafted by the winery. They also produce white wines such as Soave and a sweet Recioto di Soave, both made from the Garganega grape variety.
The winery is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly winemaking practices. They strive to balance tradition and innovation, respecting their winemaking heritage while embracing modern techniques and technologies. The vineyards are carefully managed, employing organic and biodynamic principles to ensure the health of the vines and the quality of the grapes.
When is a wine ready to drink?
We provide drinking windows for all our wines. Alongside the drinking windows there is a bottle icon and a maturity stage. Bear in mind that the best time to drink a wine does also depend on your taste.
Not ready
These wines are very young. Whilst they're likely to have lots of intense flavours, their acidity or tannins may make them feel austere. Although it isn't "wrong" to drink these wines now, you are likely to miss out on a lot of complexity by not waiting for them to mature.
Ready - youthful
These wines are likely to have plenty of fruit flavours still and, for red wines, the tannins may well be quite noticeable. For those who prefer younger, fruitier wines, or if serving alongside a robust meal, these will be very enjoyable. If you choose to hold onto these wines, the fruit flavours will evolve into more savoury complexity.
Ready - at best
These wines are likely to have a beautiful balance of fruit, spice and savoury flavours. The acidity and tannins will have softened somewhat, and the wines will show plenty of complexity. For many, this is seen as the ideal time to drink and enjoy these wines. If you choose to hold onto these wines, they will become more savoury but not necessarily more complex.
Ready - mature
These wines are likely to have plenty of complexity, but the fruit flavours will have been almost completely replaced by savoury and spice notes. These wines may have a beautiful texture at this stage of maturity. There is lots to enjoy when drinking wines at this stage. Most of these wines will hold in this window for a few years, though at the very end of this drinking window, wines start to lose complexity and decline.
