Origin and Aging

The Tedeschi San Rocco is made from a blend of grape varieties that grow in the Valpolicella basin. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Rossignola, Negrara, Dindarella, and Oseleta contribute to its complexity. Their ability to develop deep aromas makes them a core part of the wine. The aging takes place in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months. This gives the wine fine-grained tannins and a rounded texture. Before bottle aging, the wine remains 15 days in the must before it completes its development.

Veneto – the Home of Wine

Veneto is a region that puts wine at the center. Gentle hills, flat valleys, and vineyards along rivers shape the landscape. The soils made of limestone and clay contribute to the rich fruitiness and mineral notes. The climate with mild winters and warm summers creates optimal ripening conditions. Wineries like Tedeschi have been rooted in this region for centuries. Their tradition and expertise are evident in every sip of the wine.

Ripasso – a Path of Repetition

Ripasso is a technique that plays a central role in this wine. The name means "a second pass." After the first fermentation, the grapes are again processed with the lees of Amarone. This gives the wine a more intense color and a higher alcohol content. At the same time, it remains balanced. The results are a wine that stands out for its richness and complexity. Yet the balance between fruit and structure remains intact.

Vintage 2020 – a Moment of Ripeness

The 2020 vintage was a year in which the grapes could ripen optimally. Mild winters and warm summers ensured rich fruitiness and balanced acidity.
