Ansari is the new star in the Tedeschi Amarone firmament. Just 6,600 bottles were produced from the debut vintage in 2016. It is named after the three Tedeschi siblings Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo, who also select the three barrels from which the blend is made each year.

Rich bouquet of dried fruit, sultanas, rum pot and chocolate. Firm on the palate with an excellent structure, the opulent fruit centre is joined by balsamic, herbal notes and a piquant bitter note on the long finish. The perfect addition to the top-class Amarone range from the famous family winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"This new, limited production wine is the result of a super-selection of grapes from three sites. Long appassimento and evolution in Slavonian oak barrels make for a style which is big, rich and benchmark traditional, with up-front dried fruit and sweet spice on the nose and warm, glossy roundness on the palate." Decanter

"The Tedeschi 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Ansari shows a slightly milky personality with sweet cherry fruit, surrounded by white chocolate and candied almonds." Wine Advocate

"The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Ansari is dark and rich in the glass with an intoxicating bouquet of crushed cherries, rosemary, mocha and sweet tobacco. The palate shows a beautiful inner sweetness contrasted by a wave of tart red fruits and exotic spices, taking on a bitter hint of sour citrus towards the finish. The 2017 finishes incredibly long, leaving a hint of primary concentration along with angular tannins that promise many more years of development. " Vinous

"Incredibly dense aromas and flavours of fresh and dried black fruits, including currants, crushed berries, dates and passion fruit, along with notes of perfumed bark and walnuts. Full and fruity with a very fine tannin structure that drives the complex fruit flavours. Very long finish. Despite the 17.5% alcohol indicated on the bottle, it shows remarkable control. So drinkable now, but it should also age very well." James Suckling
