Veneto Questions

2009 Tedeschi Valpolicella Superiore Capitel San Rocco Ripasso
14,76€; 14,5% abv. A rather nice aroma: sweet and dark but with a tomato/rust -like savory tang. Rich but acidic and refreshing. Not bad at all for a style of wine that I am not usually fond of.

Since I have said that so often with Tedeschi, I guess I must research their wines more. The others I have had from Veneto have been sweet, simple, chocolate-tasting soft-drinks. But though I usually dislike such full bodied, rich, alcoholic wines, I find myself quite enjoying the Tedeschi Ripasso and Amarone. So what is special about Tedeschi that they can make such big wines taste refreshing? Are there other producers who can do this?

There are a couple other Tedeschi wines available here that I haven't tried. Are any of these ones I might enjoy? And what should I expect of these unfamiliar styles?

(Hoping that this time when I ask a question on a blog, I'll actually get some answers! :D )
