The Tedeschi estate dates back to the 17th century and have been farming this corner of the Veneto since the 1630s. Since the 20th century, the family name has been associated with top quality Valpolicella. The 'Capitel' label identifies the cru of San Rocco, symbolised by the shell on the label that pays homage to the saint's pilgrimage to Santiago. 

This wine is a brilliant expression of the Valpolicella Ripasso style, aged in oak barrels before undergoing a secondary fermentation on the lees of the dried grapes used to make Amarone. This brings a richness and weight to the wine. 

Aromas of cherries, raspberries and sweet spices are followed by a palate of ripe red berries. The wine is structured and warmed with hints of sweet spice. A very subtle oak influence rounds out the wine without overpowering the fruit. 

Pair with game and red meat, and aged hard cheeses.
