WINE DESCRIPTION
Capitel Nicalò Valpolicella Superiore DOC by the Tedeschi winery embodies the essence of traditional winemaking in the Veneto region. This ruby-red Italian red wine, crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and other regional varieties, is enriched through the ancient practice of drying the grapes. Aromas of wild berries, blueberries, and forest moss intermingle with spicy vanilla notes from Slavonian oak, creating a complex bouquet. Full-bodied and well-structured, the wine boasts lively freshness, balanced acidity, and harmonious alcohol and tannins. Aged for 12 to 18 months in oak barrels and further refined in the bottle, Capitel Nicalò is a testament to enduring elegance, with a cellaring potential of 7 to 10 years.
