2016 Maternigo Valpolicella Superiore

By carefully examining and cataloging the different soils in the large Maternigo vineyard, Tedeschi was able to identify the areas that produce the best wines due to their composition and orientation. One of these is the Impervio vineyard, which owes its name to its steep slope. With its white and yellow marl, it is perfectly suited to producing a very fresh, balanced Valpolicella. Each individual vine is constantly monitored so that the ripening of the grapes can be followed on a daily basis. The careful selection of the grapes ultimately produces a wine that is fruity and spicy, combining good structure and concentration with sufficient acidity to allow it to mature well.
