2016 Tedeschi - La Fabriseria - Amarone Classico Riserva DOCG

Decanter.com – 96 pts – MG: *From vineyards on the western side of the Fumane Valley below Mazzurega, where the proximity of Lake Garda maintains a cooler micro-climate, La Fabriseria is the most structured Amarone the Tedeschi family produces. Rich and smoky with spicy-toned dried fruit aromas, it's a big, rich and powerful mouthful of intense dark fruit flavours infused with candied and dried fruit notes. It has very good balance, contrasting dense texture with excellent acidity and firm, ripe tannins, carrying the alcohol well. Most impressive.* - 06/2023

Falstaff Magazin – 96 pts – OK, SS: *Dunkel leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase zunächst stark getoastet, nach kaltem Rauch, dann helles Malz, reife Waldbeeren, im Nachhall dezent nach Siegellack. Am Gaumen mit floralem Kern, umgeben von dunkler Beerenfrucht und griffig-herzhaftem Tannin, sehr druckvoll, ausdrucksstark, feuriges Finale.* - 12/2023

Vinous.com – 95+ pts – EG: *Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva La Fabriseria smolders up with a blend of dried black cherries, cloves and mocha, lifted by hints of mint and camphor. Seamlessly silky, this smooths over the palate with opulent red and blue fruits, contrasted by a bitter tinge of balsamic spice and baking chocolate. This finishes staining and long, closing with a coating of fine-grained tannins and a resonance of grilled herbs, leaving the mouth watering for more. The freshness here is on full display, yet La Fabriseria will require patience.* - 12/2023
