Viniou Reviews
Tedeschi’s “La Fabriseria” 2015 is a distinguished red blend crafted by one of the Veneto region’s most historic producers. This cuvée combines indigenous grape varieties typical of the Valpolicella area—primarily Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and a touch of Oseleta. The 2015 vintage benefited from an excellent growing season, allowing full ripening of the fruit while still retaining notable freshness and structure. The grapes are often hand-harvested and undergo traditional vinification, including prolonged maceration to extract deep colour and complexity, with subsequent ageing in large oak barrels to emphasise elegance and refine the tannins. The resulting wine is full-bodied with aromas of dark cherry, dried plum, spices, and a hint of tobacco, reflecting both varietal character and careful maturation.
The Veneto region sits in northeastern Italy and boasts a richly diverse landscape, spanning from the foothills of the Alps to the plains by the Adriatic Sea. The climate here is generally temperate, with warm summers and cooler nights, promoting excellent grape maturation and aromatic expression. The soils on the hillsides, often marl and limestone, lend complexity and minerality to the wines. Veneto's winemaking tradition dates back centuries, with producers like Tedeschi playing a key role in elevating the stature of blends such as Amarone and Valpolicella, setting a benchmark for finesse and authenticity.
“La Fabriseria” is a versatile companion at the table, particularly suited to robust dishes. It pairs beautifully with rich pasta such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù, braised beef (brasato all’Amarone), or aged hard cheeses like Monte Veronese. For a regional experience, try it alongside a classic risotto all’Amarone or roasted lamb with aromatic herbs.
For optimal enjoyment, decant this wine an hour before serving to allow its bouquet to open fully. The ideal serving temperature is between 16-18°C, which highlights its layered aromas and supple palate while preserving freshness and vibrancy. This is a wine with excellent ageing potential, rewarding patience with deeper complexity over time.
