This wine is made from a high selection of grapes coming from the vineyard La Fabriseria located in the high hill of Valpolicella Classica (Sant’Ambrogio and Fumane communes). The aim, when producing this wine, is to obtain great structure combined with an elegant aroma. This is the basis for continued and increasing excellence during the wine’s entire period of evolution. This Amarone is the fruit of Renzo Tedeschi’s passion for good wine and his constant desire to strive for the best. Nature has not always been generous : that is why, since 1983, this wine has only been produced in certain outstanding vintages.
Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent.
Bouquet: aging aromas such as roasting, vanilla and tobacco together with red fruits such as red currants, raspberries and cherries under spirits. Notes of honey and alcohol make this quite special and, at the same time, a classic Amarone.
Flavor: shows harmony and balance. Full-bodied, with a lovely silky tannins and a long persistence, long raisin and spicy after-taste. The after taste confirms the notes in the aroma. This wine has an exceptionally long and persistent flavour. This is a keeping wine .Drink it with red meat and aged cheeses.
This is a bruiser of a wine—but in a very good way. Loud and expressive and with a roundhouse 17% alcohol kick, the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva la Fabriseria throws out several different shades of smoke and spice within its thick quality of fruit. Super rich and full-bodied, you'll appreciate its bold character of toasted espresso bean and oak, presented alongside cola and cherry liqueur. The wine is like a gregarious but cuddly friend who is built like a tank and doesn't register his own strength. The blend is 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta, all coming from the La Fabriseria vineyard located between San Giorgio di Valpolicella and Mazzurega in the Sant'Ambrogio valley, with vines at 500 meters above sea level. The grapes are dried for four months in a ventilated room. Since its birth, this wine has only been produced in the following vintages: 1983, 1988, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2005, 2007 and 2011. Starting with this 2011 vintage, the wine now carries the Riserva designation. You won't find many Amarones quite like this one, especially as only 2,500 bottles of this vintage were made.
