The Tedeschi winery is located in Pedemonte within the Valpolicella Classica zone. However, the family tends to vineyards within two distinct locations, with 15 hectares of vineyards in the Classica zone and another 31 hectares in the larger Valpolicella growing area to the east, between Tregnago and Mezzane di Sotto. While soils (most often a varying mix of calcareous marl) and elevations (ranging from 160 meters at Mont Olmi to 480 meters at La Fabriseria) differ, one factor that ties all of their holdings together is that they are situated on steep hillsides with inclines ranging from 20 to 45 degrees. This diverse range of terroir has inspired the Tedeschi family to pursue a portfolio built on crus for both the Valpolicellas and Amarones. Monte Olmi, with its lower elevations planted in terraced rows on soil rich in limestone is completely different from La Fabriseri, where high-elevation, marine skeletal soils of to create a savory Amarone with amazing finesse. Another location that has already been used for their cru Valpolicella but will soon be released in Amarone form is Maternigo, a much larger growing area, but one that mixes the traits of, and finds a balance between, the two crus mentioned before. This is a portfolio of savory, high-energy wines that really show the emphasis that open-minded producers are now placing on terroir. The 2015s and 2016s were tremendous standouts in my tastings. In fact, it was only the range of 2017s that didn’t fully impress me; they seemed to be lacking in focus, staying power and depth, which likely speaks more of the vintage than of the winemaking.

The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva La Fabriseria trades power for elegance and feminine beauty. Notes of mineral-laced ripe cherries, currants, sage and cocoa gain in volume and depth with time in the glass. It’s seamless and silky, coasting across a core of vibrant acids, with juicy red and black fruits giving way to sweet spice and pretty inner florals. A bitter hint of coffee and savory herbal notes join with tart blackberry and resonate for well over a minute. This is simply gorgeous. Tedeschi really nailed it in 2015 with both the Riserva La Fabriseria and the Capitel Monte Olmi.

€ 311,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2018 Le Pergole Torte is dense, creamy and nuanced from the very first taste. Red/purplish berry fruit, spice, rose petal and a touch of new French oak all build as the Pergole Torte opens with aeration. As always, Pergole shows that extra touch of richness from the selection of fruit used here, with that added texture from French oak. As appealing as the 2018 is today, it is of course a very young wine that will need years to be at its very finest.

€ 981,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2016 Mouton Rothschild bowled me over when I tasted it from barrel. Philippe Dhalluin compares it to the 1986 in terms of intensity of fruit, although there is more maturity and refinement in the tannins apropos of the 2016. Bottled in July 2018, this has an intense bouquet with pixelated black fruit, crushed stone, hints of blue fruit and a touch of India ink. But it is the delineation and focus that take your breath away. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin framing the pure black currant and cassis fruit. The acidity is pitch-perfect, and there is a gentle but insistent grip toward the extraordinarily long finish. Racking my brains to think of another Mouton Rothschild that I have tasted over the last 20 years that was as good as this, I simply cannot come up with one.
Neal Martin. Tasting date: December 2018 100 pts© 2025 Vinous Media|A towering, thrilling wine, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild is unbelievably beautiful today. Aromatics, fruit density and vertical structure all come together. In the glass, the 2016 is remarkably vivid and powerful, and yet a gentler, more feminine side emerges with time in the glass. The intense, mineral, savory profile recalls the 1986, but the 2016 has more grace, inner sweetness and sophistication than that wine. Even so, the 2016 is going to need at least a number of years in bottle before it starts drinking well, although it won't be the bruiser the 1986 remains to this day. This is breathtaking wine from Mouton, Tecnical Director Philippe Dhalluin and his team.Add to cartAntonio Galloni. Tasting date: December 2018 100 pts© 2025 Vinous Media -

The 2015 Sassicaia is incredibly elegant, perfumed and light on its feet. It has become even more wonderfully refined since I last tasted it. Sweet floral and spiced notes lead into a core of sweet red and purplish berry fruit. When it was younger, the 2015 was quite potent. Today, my impression is that, while the 2015 has gained some finesse, it is also starting to shut down in bottle. Wine is always a journey; the 2015 Sassicaia is a great example of that.

The 2016 Sassicaia is one of the most powerful, imposing young Sassicaias I can remember tasting. Explosive and vibrant with stunning depth, the 2016 possesses off-the-charts aromatic intensity, richness and structure, all in a mid-weight style that is so distinctive. Plum, lavender, rose petal, spice and mint all build into the explosive, deep finish in this potent wine.
