Vintage Report

The 2020 vintage in Veneto has been rated as excellent with a score of 90 points. The wines are currently still youthful and tannic, indicating good aging potential.

This Capitel dei Nicalo is a small, baby Amarone. The grapes come from the finest vineyards of Valpolicella, in the heart of the Classico region. Like Amarone, Capitel dei Nicalo is made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes, with an addition of ten percent other grape varieties. This results in a wine with more power and depth than the basic Calpolicella Classico.

The success of Tedeschi

The name Tedeschi is synonymous with the Valpolicella region, with estate documents dating back to the 17th century. Since the 1630s, the family has worked in the region, shaping and influencing the vineyards and landscape. Today, their association with Valpolicella, its terroirs, and its leading wines is recognized worldwide. The Tedeschi winery is a premium family-run business, run by Antonietta, Sabrina, and Riccardo, who continue the legacy of this family business. A commitment to tradition, a focus on innovation, and a deep understanding of the local territory are the key elements that define their estate's identity. The family firmly believes that each of their wines is born from their territory and history. Their distinctive character is the result of 400 years of intense passion and research in their Valpolicella vineyards.

Special vinification of Capitel dei Nicalo

When making this Capitel dei Nicalo, the grapes are left on the vine to dry slightly. After harvest, they remain in the baskets for another month to lose another 8 to 10 percent of their weight. Afterward, the grapes are pressed, producing a beautifully concentrated juice that is aged in oak barrels. On the nose, this Capitel dei Nicalo Tedeschi has notes of cherry and raspberry, beautiful red fruit combined with a hint of spice. The palate is light and fresh, elegant, yet also somewhat firm and bitter. We think this Capitel dei Nicalo Appassimento Tedeschi is a top-notch wine!
