Crafted in the heart of Veneto's Valpolicella region, this luxurious red wine is a masterpiece of tradition and innovation, drawing upon a family legacy dating back to 1630. Carefully blended with 35% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, and 10% Rossignola grapes grown on the unique red clay and limestone marl soils of hillside vineyards, this Amarone undergoes the traditional *appassimento* process—drying the grapes for four months to concentrate flavors. Aged for three years in Slavonian oak barrels and six months in the bottle, it boasts a deep ruby hue and an intricate bouquet of berry jams, cherries, vanilla, and chocolate with a hint of mint. On the palate, its velvety texture and harmonious balance of tannins, acidity, and lingering warmth create a truly unforgettable wine. Perfect for pairing with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, Tedeschi Amarone Marne 180 is an opulent choice for connoisseurs seeking elegance and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nTedeschi Amarone embodies the ancient *appassimento* method, where meticulously handpicked grapes from late September to early October are dried for approximately four months. This process concentrates sugars, tannins, and flavors while reducing water content by up to 40%. Fermentation is slow, lasting up to 60 days at controlled temperatures, followed by aging for 36 months in Slavonian oak barrels. The result is a wine of remarkable structure, complexity, and aging potential of 10-15 years, emblematic of the Veneto region's rich heritage.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nTedeschi Amarone entices with a deep ruby red hue and layers of intricate aromas.
