La Fabriseria Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva
-- Parker: The top-shelf wine from Tedeschi is the 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva La Fabriseria, made with 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta. This is a superrich and concentrated red with an impenetrable appearance. It's Amarone, baby, so brace yourself for a very high 17% alcohol content, big flavor intensity and phenolic power that comes with a wine made with air-dried fruit. By the time the dried grapes are pressed, they've lost up to 30% of their water volume, and everything—sugar, tannins and acidity—all go into hyperdrive. It ages in Slavonian oak casks for 48 months. A wine like this is built to last. Only 1,400 bottles were created from a special site at up to 500 meters in elevation with pinkish marl limestone soils rich in calcium carbonate and iron oxide. The first vintage made was 1983.
