Description
This wine is the flagship for the Tedeschi family and has been a Grand cru since 1964. The wine is made from grapes selected from the vineyard of the same name, purchased in 1918 and located in Pedemonte. The grapes are dried for 4 months in a controlled environment. The wine is aged for 4 years in barrels made from Slavonian oak and refinement is completed in the bottle for an additional 12 months. The wine has delicate fruit that is enhanced with aging and has spiked notes of balsamic. The wine has great structure and complexity and is very elegant and long lived.
